Purchasing a Triplex which only has one Oil Furnace
Hello,
I will be closing on a triplex (3 unit home) in Philadelphia in one week. Currently the utilities are not separated. The entire home has one fuel burning furnace in the basement. I plan to get at minimum the electric split upon purchase. I am trying to determine if I should pay to get the heating system separated and buy gas burning furnaces. The apartment on the first floor actually has electric baseboard heating.
I was wondering if I should just get electric baseboard heating for the 2nd and 3rd floor apartments. There is already gas used for hot water heating only on the house. I am not sure what will be most cost effective. Could you guys please provide any advice on this subject?
