I'm really not a fan of electric stoves, and there's a house I'm considering that has one. I'm curious about what it takes to convert from an electric stove to gas. How much work and money are we looking at? Any insights would be appreciated!

Have you thought about going with induction instead? I used to be in your shoes, really wanted gas, but switching to induction was a game changer for me. It offers great performance without the cleanup hassle of gas.
Totally agree, if you're buying new, go for induction! We went with gas when we remodeled because it was the only option available at the time.
The ease of conversion really depends on your house. Do you already have gas lines nearby? If you're not sure, I'd check the details. If you have a basement, it might be straightforward to run the line over to the kitchen.
The listing says heat is fueled by natural gas, so I assume there might be a line already?
It can vary a lot based on your specific situation. If you're looking at swapping electric for gas, plus connecting a line, the cost can run anywhere from a few hundred up to a grand or more depending on what needs doing. I had electric in my old place but I've used induction, and honestly, I think it's a great option too if you can swing it!
If you're really keen on gas, just make sure there's a line into the kitchen already; you'd avoid a lot of hassle. And hey, if you haven’t, definitely check out induction stoves too – they’re impressive!
Thanks for the tip! I’m trying to see if I should prioritize gas or just rethink my options altogether.
Induction truly is the best of both worlds! It heats up fast like gas and is way easier to keep clean since there aren't any burners to scrub down.
