Replacing or adding a stove may seem like a straightforward upgrade, yet the final price tag can vary dramatically from one home to the next. At CountBricks, we generate precise, voice-powered estimates that blend real-time material pricing, regional labor rates, and permit requirements in seconds. This article unpacks the main factors influencing stove installation cost so you can plan with confidence.
• Electric coil or smooth-top units are typically the most affordable to install because the wiring already exists in most modern kitchens.
• Gas stoves cost more due to the need for gas line installation or extension, pressure testing, and ventilation checks.
• Dual-fuel and induction models sit at the premium end, requiring both a dedicated 240-volt circuit and properly sized gas or electrical infrastructure.
National averages only tell part of the story. CountBricks taps into local wage data to predict what certified installers, plumbers, and electricians actually charge in your ZIP code. Typical labor breakdown:
• Basic electric swap: 1–2 hours of electrician labor
• Gas line run under 10 feet: 3–4 hours of licensed plumber labor
• Vent hood upgrade or reroute: 2–3 hours of HVAC technician labor
The stove itself is just the beginning. CountBricks’ real-time materials database updates prices daily so you never rely on outdated averages.
• Flexible gas connectors, shut-off valves, and thread sealant
• Heavy-gauge electrical wire, breaker upgrades, and outlet boxes
• Range hood ducting, wall caps, and exterior dampers
• Trim kits, filler panels, and anti-tip brackets for a finished look
Most municipalities require a permit for new gas or 240-volt circuits. CountBricks automatically factors local permit fees and inspection schedules into your stove installation cost, reducing surprises during final inspections.
• Switching from electric to gas may involve cutting drywall, drilling joists, and patching finishes.
• Older cabinets sometimes demand slight modifications to fit deeper slide-in or professional-style ranges.
• CountBricks’ AI blueprint takeoffs flag space conflicts before demolition begins, saving time and rework.
Using thousands of recent residential projects in our database, CountBricks estimates the nationally averaged stove installation cost as follows:
• Basic electric replacement: $450–$950
• Gas conversion within 10 feet of existing gas line: $900–$1,800
• Dual-fuel professional range with new 240-volt circuit and vent hood: $2,200–$4,500
