How Much Does It Cost to Install a Gas Stove? [2025 Data]

Gas Stove Installation Cost by Type

The type of gas stove—either ventless or vented—can impact the cost of installation. The unit price for these two types of gas stoves differs slightly, and installation costs may also vary, as installing a vented stove requires more labor than a ventless stove.

Ventless Gas Stove Installation Cost

Ventless gas stoves cost as little as $300, but premium models can cost as much as $2,200. Most units cost between $1,200 and $1,500. Labor to install ventless gas stoves starts as low as $250 but can reach $2,000 in some cases.

Ventless gas stoves are highly efficient, but they produce smaller flames than their vented counterparts.

Vented Gas Stove Installation Cost

You’ll spend more on a vented gas stove unit—anywhere from $500 to $4,200 for the unit itself. These stoves produce more heat and larger flames.

Gas Stove Installation Cost Breakdown

Assuming your home already has the correct fuel for your appliance, you’ll need to install a new gas line to accommodate your new stove. Plumbers install gas lines and are the best equipped to handle this type of job.

The length of this line will heavily impact your material and labor costs. If you’re switching from natural gas to propane, which burns more efficiently and has a lesser environmental impact, this will result in additional expenses as well. Find your gas stove installation cost breakdown below.

Gas Stove

Gas stoves can cost between $300 and $4,200. Features such as wider ranges, digital controls, and double ovens drive up the price.

Gas Hookup

Plumbers charge anywhere between $45 and $200 per hour, depending on factors like experience level and location. To run a new gas line, it’s best to hire a master plumber for an average cost of $75 to $100 per hour. They are your go-to pros for this job, as they’re the most qualified to install any type of pipe.

Gas Line Installation

The length of a new gas line or the extension of an existing one directly affects the cost of installing a gas stove. A kitchen stove line costs about $20 per linear foot on average, though you’ll often have to pay a minimum charge to have the plumber come out to your home. 

Longer gas lines require more materials, such as pipes, connectors, and fittings, increasing material costs. Additionally, the installation process for longer lines involves more labor, including digging trenches or drilling, which increases labor costs. The complexity of routing through obstacles such as walls or floors can further add to expenses.

Changes to Counters and Cabinets

Modifying counters and cabinets can significantly affect the installation cost of gas stoves. If the existing setup doesn't accommodate the stove's dimensions or gas line connection, alterations like cutting or resizing countertops and cabinets may be necessary. These adjustments demand skilled labor, potentially raising installation costs. Moreover, rerouting gas lines to fit the stove's new location can entail additional expenses. 

Repairs to Drywall

When mounting or connecting the stove, openings or spaces in the wall may need to be cut to accommodate gas lines, vents, or outlets. After the installation, these alterations often require professional drywall repair, including patching, texturing, and painting. These additional tasks increase the overall installation cost due to the need for skilled labor and materials. 

Type of Gas (Propane vs. Natural Gas)

Propane stoves require specialized gas lines, regulators, and connectors, often increasing material expenses compared to natural gas installations. Additionally, propane systems may necessitate the installation of a propane tank, which involves extra labor and materials. Natural gas, on the other hand, typically has existing infrastructure in many homes, reducing installation complexity and costs. Consequently, the choice between propane and natural gas directly influences installation expenses due to the specific equipment and infrastructure required for each gas type.

Gas Line Material

The choice of gas line materials significantly influences the cost of gas stove installation. Traditional black iron pipes, though durable, can be more expensive due to their material cost and labor-intensive installation process, which involves threading and welding. In contrast, flexible materials like corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) or copper offer cost savings through easier installation and reduced labor time. However, their initial material cost may be higher. Therefore, the selection of gas line materials directly impacts installation expenses, balancing initial outlay with installation efficiency and longevity.

Alternatives to a Gas Stove

Gas stove tops aren’t for everybody (and they’re facing being banned in certain communities). If you’re remodeling your kitchen or simply thinking of updating your appliances, here are three gas stove alternatives to consider:

Electric Stove

The most common alternative to a gas stove is an electric stove. Electric stoves are cheaper to install, easier to clean, and ideal for baking in the oven, but the stove top itself is less responsive than a gas stove, they’re more expensive to operate, and they can’t be used during power outages. You can review our guide to gas vs. electric stoves if you’re not sure which is best for you.

Electric stoves cost between $600 and $1,300, on average.

Induction Stove

Another alternative to consider is an induction stove, which creates an electromagnetic field to turn the cookware into its own heating source. These can be pricey, costing anywhere from $600 to $9,200.

Countertop Appliances

Stove tops aren’t always necessary, depending on how and what you cook. Many homeowners get by with a number of countertop appliances, such as:

• Microwaves

• Toasters and toaster ovens

• Air fryers

• Slow cookers

• Indoor grills

With these basic appliances, you may be able to meet all your needs in the kitchen.

Installing a Gas Stove DIY vs. Hiring a Pro

Switching from an electric to a gas stove requires a local professional gas plumber—ideally a master plumber with plenty of applicable experience. Working with natural gas lines yourself is incredibly dangerous, as well as illegal in many places. For this to work as a DIY, you’ll need to have gas hookups that match up with your appliance’s fuel type, which is either propane or natural gas. 

Even if you already have the proper gas hookups ready to go, though, you should still treat this DIY with extreme caution. Improper installation could lead to a harmful (or even fatal) gas leak. It’s essential to read all instructions carefully and check your work with a gas leak detector. Also, review your appliance’s warranty to ensure you won’t make it null by handling your own installation.

Here are the basic tools and materials you’ll need to hook up a stove to an existing gas line:

Once you finish, it’s a good idea to get a professional plumbing inspection completed to ensure the installation was successful.
