⚖️ Side-by-Side Comparison
Gas vs Electric Range
Gas ranges cost $500-$2,500 for the appliance, electric $450-$2,500; both run $150-$300 for install. Gas wins for precise heat control and cooking performance; electric (especially induction) wins on safety, ease of cleaning, and energy efficiency. Induction heats faster than gas but needs compatible cookware.
