Graciegirl is referring to a heatpump. That would be electric and has another setting (emergency heat) that uses heating coils instead of the heat pump. The emergency heat function is for when the temperatures go below @35 degrees. Using it a lot would cause your electric bill to skyrocket like that. Your gas furnace will only have the settings you mentioned.
