There&rsquo;s also a chance that gas could get into your home, which is a major health and safety risk.</p></div>

Q: What if I need to switch from natural gas to electric (or vice versa)?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to increase your budget. Since you will likely need a new outlet, factor in $120 to $200 for it. If your gas company needs to run a new gas line to your oven, expect a charge between $200 to $2,000.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of propane?

• <div><p>The biggest disadvantage of propane is that heating systems and appliances powered by propane tend to cost more than gas-powered ones. Propane is also dangerous since it can create frostbite if it touches the skin and can easily combust if mishandled. It&rsquo;s also quite cumbersome to buy or replace propane tanks, so many people choose to have propane delivered to their homes&mdash;an extra cost and logistical challenge that can be a headache.</p></div>
