About Mamaroneck

The biggest difference as stated previously is the fuel types. The gas unit needs to be vented and the electric unit does not. Although both units will need to be serviced annually, a gas appliance is more likely to lose some efficiency if it's not. Gas units have better efficiency ratings. Electric units do not produce byproducts of combustion, which includes carbon monoxide. There are more parts in a gas unit that can go bad. It's cheaper to produce 1 BTU of heat with gas than electric. In other words you can produce the same amount of heat for less with gas than with an electric coil. When determining the best option for your application you need to take into account the availability of the fuel. If you have both gas and (of course) electric you should evaluate your energy cost for each appliance to see what rate you’re currently paying to produce one BTU of heat.
