And they do require more maintenance because of soot and dirt buildup from burning oil. The installation cost of an oil furnace is however lower than a gas sytem.
- Gas Furnace - Gas furnaces cost a little more to install, but have a much higher heating efficiency. They also require less maintenance than oil systems.
