Changing out Electric Heater, does AC needs to be replaced too?

Hi folks,

A few weeks back, I decided, at the advice of all of you beautiful people to convert my rental from electric to gas heating.  I just received the quote and the hvac guy is saying I have to change out my AC unit as well.  There is nothing wrong with the unit that I have.  Do I really need to do both?  If so, I may very well just leave the unit without central air.  I'm in Philadelphia so we get very few days that are so hot that AC is a must have.  and the house has ceiling fans throughout.

Let me know your thoughts.

You definitely did the right thing installing natural gas. On the AC side, you probably would be best off going w a new ac. Is it possible to save the old ac, yes, but the installer would have to have ur best interest in mind, and sometimes they don't.  I do HVAC, and it's a long complicated answer. If you want more details, feel free to pm me.
