If you enjoy cooking and currently own an electric stove, consider switching to gas. Your local plumber will help you make the replacement by installing gas lines. Here are a few reasons to replace an electric stove with a gas version.

Why a Gas Stove is Preferable to an Electric Model

1. It Saves Time

Unlike electric stoves that take several minutes to reach the desired temperature, gas stovetops turn on immediately. You’ll save cooking time, which is helpful when you need to prepare a meal quickly, such as before work or a long road trip. Gas stoves also evenly heat rounded cookware when compared to electric versions, which saves time. 

2. It’s Cost-Effective

While a gas stovetop can cost more to install than an electric stove, it saves money over time, particularly if you cook regularly. Gas doesn’t cost as much to operate as electric, with lower monthly energy bills.

3. It’s Easier To Control

Once an electric stovetop reaches a certain temperature, increasing or decreasing heat requires you to wait. A gas stovetop changes temperature with a simple turn of a knob so you can continue cooking instead of taking unwanted breaks.

4. It Doesn’t Impact Room Temperature

Electric stovetops increase the room temperature, especially if you are cooking for hours. Rather than sweating over the stove on a hot day or running fans and air conditioners because the kitchen is too warm, you can maintain your desired room temperature with gas.

5. It Works When The Electricity Goes Out

A gas stove keeps working when there’s a power outage so you can still prepare food instead of spending money on restaurant fare. You may have to light the stove with a lighter or match, but you’ll enjoy at least some peace of mind if the electricity cuts out.
