Maybe in apartments, but in recently built single family homes throughout the south, a gas furnace is very common. I haven't known anyone that has anything else in the several southern states I have lived in, other than those people who tried to get away with heat pumps. Electric heating is significantly more expensive than gas.
- cptskippy 11y agoI've lived in numerous houses and apartments in Georgia built in the 50s, 60s, 80s, and 00s. Every single one used a gas furnace. Every heat pump system I've seen had a propane or natural gas backup furnace. The only times I've ever seen electric were in water heaters and stoves.
