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.

When planning the switch, ensure the dimensions of the new stove match the old one.
