Once you switch to gas you will never be sorry. The reliability and options available and consistency are very nice and not having to worry about the truck showing up or running out provides security. The cleanliness and reliability of the furnace and not having to worry about the gun is hard to beat, the ability to add areas like the garage or shop is great even the initial cost seems high it's well worth it. If one wants to leave for a while in the winter setting the temp lower is easier without problems and the furnaces are quite efficient. It's a win win.
