A few factors determine the amount of time it takes to convert from an oil to a gas furnace, mainly adding in the gas lines, updating your appliances, removing the old oil system, and installing a chimney line. These projects can vary, but you should expect them to take at least two or three days to complete.

Your broiler may not be working due to a faulty igniter, which is the piece responsible for lighting the gas. Other possible issues include a broken broil element, a problem with the thermostat, or a defective control board. If the gas supply isn’t correctly connected to the broiler, it can also create problems. When in doubt, call a pro to safely and effectively diagnose and fix the problem.

The cost to convert an electric stove to a gas stove ranges from $125 to $2,000, depending on your kitchen's current setup. If you already have a gas line behind your stove, a plumber may only charge around $125 to hook up the new range. However, running a new gas line costs between $260 and $820, and setting up a new gas service for the house can cost around $2,000.

Many people find the switch worthwhile. Gas stoves offer more precise temperature control and can last up to 15 years, compared to 13 years for most electric stoves. However, there are safety considerations, as electric stoves are generally safer. If your main issue with your electric stove is temperature control, an induction stove could be a better alternative, offering accuracy without introducing new safety hazards. When planning the switch, ensure the dimensions of the new stove match the old one.

Appliance installation costs around $200 on average, and most installations total between $75 and $600. Some cost factors to consider that can increase your price toward the higher end of that range include the following:

• Your installers need to maneuver up or down stairs or around tight corners.

• Your appliance needs to be connected to a natural gas line or water line.

• Your appliance requires extra parts for a proper connection, like an ice maker hook-up kit.

• Your appliance is oversized.
