Gas Logs questions, answered by experts

No, most homeowners don't have the skills and experience required to convert their electric stove to gas on their own. You must hire an electrician and a licensed gas plumber for the conversion. This job requires swapping out the existing 240-volt outlet for a 110-volt outlet and may also involve installing or extending an existing gas line.

It’s no secret that natural gas differs from propane, but you’re in luck—licensed plumbers can also install propane gas lines. When you speak to a gas plumber near you, be sure you specify that your project will be for propane gas, not natural gas. Propane lines are slightly different than natural gas lines, so clear communication is key to ensure that your project is completed without a hitch. 

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

DIY installation is not recommended due to the complexities of gas line work and venting; professional installation ensures safety and compliance.

It’s possible to convert an electric dryer to a gas dryer, but it’s not practical or cost-effective. A pro would need to remove specific components from your electric unit and install parts unique to gas dryers. Rather than going through this time-consuming process, you can remove your old electric dryer and have a pro install a new gas dryer.
