The popularity of modern gas ranges has exploded in Los Angeles and across the country, but many homeowners still underestimate the true cost of bringing that new appliance to life. CountBricks has analyzed thousands of Los Angeles-area projects and leveraged our AI estimating engine to break down every dollar you should expect to spend. This guide walks you through each line item, why it matters, and how CountBricks keeps budgets on track.
CountBricks data shows that a standard gas range installation in an existing kitchen generally falls between $750 and $1,650. Simple replacements trend toward the lower end, while first-time gas conversions or high-end commercial-style units can exceed $2,500. The spread depends on four cost drivers: appliance specs, gas line scope, ventilation requirements, and municipal permitting.
• Base residential gas range: $600-$2,000 depending on brand and BTU capacity
• Conversion kits or LP orifices when switching fuel types: $40-$120
• Anti-tip brackets, flex connectors, and shut-off valves: $25-$75
CountBricks advantage: Our real-time materials feed updates prices daily, so your estimate reflects what suppliers are charging this week, not last quarter.
Running a new ½-inch black iron or CSST line averages $22-$35 per linear foot in Los Angeles. The farther your range sits from the meter, the higher the bill. If the existing line is undersized, CountBricks will flag the issue and propose upsizing before you approve the quote.
Most modern gas ranges still need a dedicated 120-volt outlet for ignition and controls. Installing or relocating that circuit ranges from $140-$350. Upgrading or installing a vent hood adds $300-$900.
The City of Los Angeles requires permits for new gas lines. Fees average $125, plus $80-$150 for inspection. CountBricks pulls current municipal fee schedules directly into every estimate, so there are no surprise city charges down the line.
Existing infrastructure: Homes already plumbed for gas with adequate BTU capacity save big on line extensions.
Kitchen layout: Moving the range to an island drives costs higher due to subfloor trenching or ceiling drops.
Local codes: Seismic shut-off valves are mandatory in California. CountBricks automatically includes code-required hardware so your inspection passes the first time.
With CountBricks, your contractor walks the site, speaks into a phone, and our AI builds a complete estimate on the spot. Labor rates, gas fittings, permit fees—every detail is auto-populated within seconds.

A Los Angeles homeowner planned a full kitchen remodel with a 36-inch pro-style gas range but feared ballooning costs. Their contractor used CountBricks during the initial walk-through, speaking measurements and fixture counts directly into our app.
• Existing ¾-inch gas main could handle the new BTU load—no meter upgrade required
• The planned outlet relocation could be avoided by rotating the range 90 degrees
• City permit fees were misquoted at $300; CountBricks pulled the correct $205 schedule
1. Revised scope reduced gas line labor by 12 labor hours
2. Eliminating the outlet move saved $275 in electrical work
3. Accurate permitting data trimmed $95 instantly
Total savings: $1,120—an 18 % reduction from the contractor’s handwritten estimate.
