Over 40 years ago, I worked my way through college as a HVAC mechanic working at Bethlehem Steel in Burns Harbor. It's hard to trouble shoot something over the phone. Even harder if you don't have a VOM meter. Next to impossible if you can't get replacement parts.
I'm retired and to supplement my income, I have rental properties. All of them are converted to simple electric baseboard heat. No service calls, no filters to change, no fan motors to change, brain boxes going out. In 40 years, I've had to replace 2 thermostats. One stuck in the on position and the other blew off the wall after a kid stuck a paper clip in it.
Prior to converting over to total electric, I would get phone calls all hours of the night with furnace problems.
I insulated all my places, new windows, doors and the bottom line is Keep It Simple, do yourself a favor and go with electric. May be a little more expensive, but in the long run you won't have any problems to speak of. All my tenants love it and so do I.
I put heaters in every room, however a well insulated 1500+ square foot home can be heated with just two 8 ft heaters.
