Wish I'd known before switching from Gas to Electric Heating

Are you thinking about switching from gas to electric or completely electrifying your home? Do you wanna learn more about electric heating installation? This video is about what I wish I had known before getting an electric heating system for our home. I installed convection heaters (Stelpro Mirage) and smart thermostats (Ecobee) for energy savings and remote control. Join me as I am sharing our experience switching from gas to electric heating. Enjoy!

If you can, choose geothermal. Geothermal saves the most money in the long run, is eco-friendly and absolutely quiet. Air-Source heat pumps are an alternative that is still much more efficient than electric heating at a significantly lower upfront cost than geothermal.

Smart thermostats can easily work on high-voltage using a transformer combined with a relay (Aube Technologies RC840T-240 On/Off Switching Electric Heating Relay with Built-in 24 V Transformer).
