Hello _ has anyone added a gas line for a range in an existing house in Sun city grand? We really want a gas range but many of the houses do not have one. Thanks in advance. We are looking at both Esquire floor plan and Palo Verde - both involve an interior wall for the range.

Are you in an all electric area or is gas available to your residence?

You might want to call the utility company and see what/who they recommend and a licensed contractor to give an free estimate to do the change. Alot is going to depend on running the line from point A (gas location) to point B (range location) if it can be done without major obstacles.

We are going to call this week. We are buying a house so trying to determine if we want to buy one that does not already have the stub as there are a lot more of those available. Hoping to find someone who has had it done. Thanks

Why not save the money get a nicer electric range instead? Sounds like a lot of work involved installing a gas line, I'd be nervous operating one in the house.

Something like this?

An interior wall will be piece of cake because there's no insulation in the stud bays. You need attic access and no HVAC equipment in the way though. I would think $2K would be on the high end, probably less.

There are some beautiful ranges out there. I got a good price on a stainless steel Kenmore Elite 40 inch range a couple years back. It has two side by side ovens (The larger oven is convection and self cleaning). The smooth cooktop has 5 burners of which several are multiple size. The wide vent hood was almost as much as the stove. When people walk into my kitchen they do a double take on the big retro/modern range. I could have chosen the dual energy model for about the same price. I think the electric is easier to keep clean. I have enough oven capacity to cook a holiday meal and it was a perfect fit for my 1950 house. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/133348838942035033/

Most any plumber can legally run a gas line. The one thing I'm not sure of is if you will need a permit to install a new line. That would be the one thing I'd check on along with getting a few bids from quality plumbing contractors that are insured,licensed and bonded.
Depending on how it's run you may have to hire someone to repair any sheetrock on walls that have to be opened up in order to run it.

We priced this out in our last house in East Mesa in 2008. Cost then was about $1200. I'd assume it's closer to two grand now. We unhappily stuck with the electric stove.

I don't remember if a permit was required; however, there were code requirements. Absolutely use a licensed plumber for this kind of job.
