How much to convert from electric stove to gas stove....
Posted on 8/5/14 at 1:47 pm
Posted on 8/5/14 at 1:47 pm
I currently have an electric stove and I'd like to convert it to gas. I have a gas heater and the line is exposed in my finished basement. To run a line from the heater' line would be about 15 feet. Part of it would be through a removable ceiling, so that shouldn't be a big issue.
What should I be expecting to pay?

Not sure but I think $300 is a good estimate. That seems to be what I've found out. A plumber will have to do it.
I'm doing mine in the fall. Of course it depends on the foot of pipe etc... But I think $200-$300 is a good ball park

Do you have one now with the oven and stovetop, or just a cooktop? It would be much cheaper if it is just the cooktop. I've thought about doing this as well. The electric oven is fine, and we bought it new about 7 years ago, but I do get tired of the ceramic cooktop. I want a 5 burner one in black, but we need countertops as well so I'm going to hold off and do that all at the same time.

I got a gas line run from under my house about 10-12 ft to the deck where I had my grill and I think it was $250, but that was 8 years ago.
The job is mostly labor, though, and IIRC it took about 2-3 hours total.

Maybe if you converted to wood it would be cheaper?

Thanks for the responses. I only have a cooktop. I'm looking at going all stainless (all white now), with new floors and granite and just figured I'd convert to gas while I'm at it.

I'll probably be selling in 5-6 years. I watch all of these HGTV shows and it's amazing how electric stoves are a "deal breaker" for SO many women as soon as they walk into the house.

Yeah, it was almost a deal-breaker on the house we live in. I went from a huge gas range, solid countertops, and a nice big fridge I bought new at my townhouse to cheap countertops, the ceramic, and an old 21 cu ft stainless fridge the previous owners had in my house. I wish I had been more stubborn about my fridge when I sold but I was so tired of living in that townhouse I would have let anything go with it just to get out of it. And right after I moved in I had to replace the oven and dishwasher because they didn't work that well, so a ceramic range and old fridge were the least of my worries.

Good luck getting it done for around $300

I paid 300.
You have to call a plumber.

3 quotes; 2 plumbers (nashville) in excess of $750.
nashville gas came in at $450 and another $75 to run a line to the laundry room for a gas dryer.
i opted for both and glad i did
gas dryer is the shite.
eta i guess what i'm saying is why not go ahead & run it for a small amount more to your laundry room as well? just having the option for a gas dryer is a great 'sell' to potential buyers.
few houses seem to come with gas for most major appliances so that will help your house stand out even if you don't take advantage of it.

If you're gonna pay to have it done call a local Propane Dealer.See if they'll install it or if you have to purchase the stove from them.
They'll do it for a reasonable price.

I know this is a Capt. Obvious question, but in all sincerity, why not just buy a gas stove?

isnt that the point of this thread?
step 1: install gas line to kitchen.
step 2: purchase gas stove & connect to line
step 3: profit

Because ... there's no gas line going to the cooktop ???
The gas line is in the basement for the heater and hot water heater. It's exposed. I'm pretty sure they can tap into the current line in the basement and just run a copper line to where the cooktop is. I'll also ask about extending to for the double oven, and running a line outside for the grill. But, the main priority is the cooktop. And, I'm putting granite, so I'll have get this done and buy a gas cooktop before I get the granite put in.

he's not trying to convert the actual electric stove to gas.
OP - i did it about 7 years ago, paid a GC $250 to do it. One plumber wanted $600, the other wouldn't do it. There could be code/permit issues. Many place, technically for gas lines you need a permit and inspection once installed. Technically.
