Electric wall heaters, or new natural gas furnace?

[Adam Smith]

Hi everyone, my wife and I are currently working on a live in flip. We are doing really well on keeping cost down however we have come to a point where we need to make a decision on heat. At the moment we have small electric wall heaters in each room. They provide decent heat and are not terribly expensive to run. Our other option would be to have a natural gas forced air system installed that would run about 5800 dollars. The basement is unfinished at the moment which would make for an easy install. The houses in the neighborhood are split about 50/50 on their heat sources. Ultimately I guess my question is, would it be money well spent to have the furnace installed or a waste?
