This is a matter of personal preference, as each method has its own pros and cons. Oil furnaces are safer, but the smell can be off-putting to some consumers. Oil is also more expensive than gas. However, oil furnaces boast a higher BTU rate per hour, so a smaller amount of oil can heat a larger space when compared to a gas furnace.

Even if you invested in the cost of a gas shut-off valve for your oven and other appliances, it’s a good idea to add a seismic shut-off valve as an extra safety measure. 

Gas shut-off valves for appliances are manual, meaning someone has to cut off the flow of gas. This leaves room for error, as you might not be home or might be too distracted to think about gas lines during an earthquake. An earthquake valve is automatic and will protect your home from gas-related disasters in the event of an earthquake.

You will need to hire a professional installation technician or plumber to connect your dryer to your gas line or install a new line. Your gas company may be able to help you find a capable, reputable professional in your area.

Fixing a gas line or a gas leak can take anywhere from one hour to several days, depending on the location, accessibility, and complexity of the problem. A simple, easily accessible fix may take one to two hours, while a more complex project like repairing an underground gas line can take several days to complete. A gas line specialist or plumber can provide an accurate time estimate after evaluating the situation. If your city's utility company is handling the repair, it will likely provide information on when to expect gas service to be restored.
