Efficient and filled with a modern classical charm, gas stoves can be installed just about anywhere in a home. Gas stoves cost approximately $3,000 to $6,000 just for the base unit, depending on the model and selected features.
However, the Gas Stove is only one part of a greater whole. Your total project may also include:
Permits & Inspection
Permit and inspection requirements vary by municipality and project. Check what’s required before installation and let your local fireplace specialist or contractor help guide you through the process. A professional inspection is required after gas hookup.
Installation
Many fireplace specialists do include some sort of installation package. This can cover gas, electrical, and venting up to a certain distance from the unit. Before you make your purchase, clarify what is included with your purchase when discussing the project with your local dealer.
Gas Line
If there is not an existing gas line, a new one will have to be run to where the gas stove will be located. The cost will depend on the distance and complexity of the installation.
Venting
One major advantage of gas stoves is that they can be installed where they will be able to provide the most comforting heat. Venting can become more complicated the closer to the center of the house. Being aware of this can help in the planning process and save in the long run.
Venting costs can increase when:
- The fireplace is located far from an exterior wall
- A more complex venting route is required
- New gas lines are needed
Your fireplace specialist can help determine the appropriate venting system and requirements for your specific gas stove.
