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>

Q: Which types of gas pipes are more susceptible to leaks?

• <div><p>Any gas pipe can leak, especially if it&rsquo;s old or isn&rsquo;t properly maintained. However, even with a shovel, plastic pipes are more easily damaged by impact. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s so important to have gas lines marked by the utility company before you begin digging for any reason. Some metal pipes, like black pipes, galvanized steel, and copper, aren&rsquo;t as easily damaged by impact but can degrade over the years, leading to leaks. </p></div>

Q: How do plumbers detect gas leaks?

• <div><p>Plumbers start by walking around the property to see if they notice any signs or sounds of a gas leak. They can also use tools like electronic gas detectors and infrared cameras to find the source of leaks. There are also detectors that use laser, thermal, and multi-wavelength imaging. All these devices allow a plumber to scan your home and pinpoint the exact location of a leak. </p></div>

Q: How do I connect a new gas line to a kitchen stove?

• <div><p>In most cases, a flexible steel hose connects your gas line to the wall. This process is typical if you are replacing your gas stove or if the old pipe has worn down. However, always leave this job for a professional plumber. Errors can be very dangerous, so it's worth calling a professional to take a look.</p></div>
