what would be estimate to convert from electric heat to gas heat in pa?

Are you talking about forced-air electric? Because in other situations it may be easier/less expensive to look for another house :) Anyway,  it would be really difficult to put a price tag on a job like this without knowing details. For example, how will the gas be delivered? Natural gas or propane? Who will own the tank if it's hauled in? Is a pipe delivery feasible?

As far as the furnace itself, you're probably looking at a 60K BTU furnace (definitely check with a local vendor tho - PA is a large state and NW is much different from SE) . I would guestimate that if you are just replacing the electric air handler for a gas furnace, you're probably looking at a $3000 job (plus any piping work that needs to get done). But, as these projects tend to go, your contractors would probably reason with you (and they may have a point) that it's a great opportunity to install a heat pump and ACs are more efficient these days etc., etc. So, it may turn into a $8,000 - 10,000 job although some of the high-efficiency new equipment may be eligible for a tax credit.

In any event, make sure to collect two or three estimates from licensed and certified local contractors. Having comparable quotations will make the cost picture much more clear.

Thinking of buying a home in PA which has electric heating. Does anyone know how much it would cost to change to gas heating?.... This is a split level house that has 3 levels approx 2600 sq ft.
