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 <\/img><\/p>\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.

For example, a gas stove costs an extra $500 to $800<\/strong> on average.<\/p>\n Below are some gas line installation prices by locations:<\/strong><\/p>\n *Source: Homeadvisor.com users<\/p>\n <\/img>\n<\/p>\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>.
