Summary: Cost to Convert from Electric to Gas
\n <\/h2>\n

The cost to switch from electric to gas varies according to how many feet of gas line you need. If the existing line has the capacity to add more appliances, a 10′ extension costs between $150 and $200<\/strong>. If the line cannot take more appliances, you likely need a 20′ to 30′ extension, which costs between $300 and $750<\/strong>. A stove hookup ranges between $600 and $700<\/strong>. Installing gas service to the home averages around $2,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Costs to Install a Gas Line
    \n <\/h4>\n

    Making the switch from electric to gas appliances carries a variety of costs. The main contributing factors are how many feet of line you need and local labor rates for your contractor. Distance is calculated as the number of feet between the gas meter and the appliance. The most qualified person to install a gas line is a master plumber.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The average price to run a new gas line is around $500<\/strong>, with a range between $150 and $1,350<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • New and replacement lines cost between $15 and $25 per square foot<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Labor rates for a master plumber average between $75 and $100 per hour<\/strong> but may go as high as $150 per hour<\/strong> depending on your location<\/li>\n
    • If you have a gas line but need to run an extension, expect to pay between $500 and $1,000<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Permitting and inspection fees average between $100 and $300<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      If you need to purchase new appliances, expect to pay a little more for gas compared to electric. For example, a gas stove costs an extra $500 to $800<\/strong> on average.<\/p>\n

      Gas Line From the Street to the Home
      \n<\/h4>\n

      Adding a gas line that extends from the main to your home can be as cheap as $0 and as expensive as $2,500<\/strong>. Please note that it’s rare to pay more than that, although it is possible. Generally, the more the utility or municipality wants your business, the less they charge for installation.<\/p>\n

      Factors contributing to your cost include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Who supplies the gas? Private companies, co-ops, and public municipalities all charge differently.<\/li>\n
      • What is the distance between the main line and your home?<\/li>\n
      • Are there any obstructions between the main and your building or home?<\/li>\n
      • Do any local building codes impacting cost?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Talk to the local gas company to determine who installs, owns, and maintains the line that runs between the main and the meter. Usually, it’s the local gas company, but not always. Also ask about the meter outside your home.<\/p>\n

        Additional cost considerations when installing a main gas line include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Is there already a connection to a gas-run heating system? Is it less than 100′ from the meter? If so, you can probably get a free install.<\/li>\n
        • Rural areas often run the line to the edge of your property for free. Your cost starts when you’re ready to extend that line to the house.<\/li>\n
        • A small group of homes in a rural area can often share the cost to run a main line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Gas Heating Cost Considerations
          \n<\/h4>\n

          If you’re switching from electric to gas heating, you need a furnace. This means you also need a forced air system, which distributes heat via ductwork and vents.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • The cost of a new furnace ranges between $2,000 and $4,000,<\/strong> depending on whether you choose a two-stage or one-stage furnace.<\/li>\n
          • What you pay to install ductwork and vents depends on your home size. It averages between $3,000 and $5,000<\/strong>, but can exceed $10,000<\/strong> for larger homes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
