The stove is an important part of the kitchen, and homeowners can choose between electric and gas cooktops. Many people prefer gas stove cooking because it allows them to have the most control over the outcome and is regarded as a cheaper way of cooking at home. But the stove installation cost does not include removing existing equipment, fixing the cabinetry box or structure on which the stove is mounted, or ensuring that the electrical and gas supply meets local and current requirements. The final prices also depend on a variety of criteria, such as whether or not there is an oven, the number of burners to be added, whether or not previous equipment must be removed, and so on. Your expenses may also differ depending on the installer you choose; installation from a well-known firm that provides excellent service will normally cost more than installation from a lesser-known company.
