Propane vs. Electric? We are planning on moving to the Lehigh Valley next year and...
We are planning on moving to the Lehigh Valley next year and I'm notice that most homes have electric stoves. Here within So. California, we've only used instinctive gas and we really prefer it over electric.
Is it expensive to replace an electric stove with a gas one, using propane, and is the conversion to a propane supply for a stove glib to do? Is it easy plenty to be done by a homeowner or does a plumber have to do it, and if a plumber comes out to install the propane container, does he do the whole employment (from the tank to the kitchen), or do we want to get another installer for that element of the job?
It seem like when we buy a home contained by PA, we will most likely be getting an electric stove next to it, but we would definitely be varying it out to gas.
Thanks for any information you can provide on this. It will be greatly appreciated.
Always pious to have an alternate source of warmth should the power go out.Switching stoves is a snap, Plumbing make up for it but is not that hard. Use teflon cassette on all joint and check for leaks next to soapy water.
I purely saw that exact conversion on "Ask This Old House" 12/22/2007. Check your local listing.

Answers: you are going to need an electrician and a plumber to do the living. usually they have full service contractors to do the mission. it can get pricey.
