Q: Is it expensive to convert to a gas stove?

• <div><p>It costs anywhere from $125 to $2,000 to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-convert-my-electric-stove-gas.htm">convert an electric stove to gas</a> because it all depends on the current setup of your kitchen. For example, if you already have a gas line behind your stove, you could pay as little as $125 to have a plumber hook up your new range. Running a new gas line, however, costs between $260 and $820. If you don&rsquo;t have gas service at all, you&rsquo;ll spend around $2,000 to set it up. </p></div>

But propane is not ideal if you already have a gas line installed. The best choice for your home depends on the efficiency of your appliances and the amount of installation required of your fuel choice.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to convert from an oil to a gas furnace?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>
