Default Electric furnaces

Going to replace an ancient oil furnace. My first preference is
electric & would appreciate advice/opinions on installation. Old
furnace to be demo'd from the skin out as the ducts are not suitable for
electric.

Does electric differ from other fuels in installation procedures, ie: is
Schedule (??) needed & what is it? What does it accomplish?

1927 house recently re-wired for 200A. 2 duct runs easily acessable in
basement.

Trane was suggested because "Nothing runs like..." I would hope to find
one NOT made in China.

Thanks for any advice & hope this doesn't open a big can of worms. 8^)

My electric bill is over $200 a month. I guess I could switch from
gas to electric if I feel the bill is too low.
