US prices, November 2026. Low is a simple job in a low-cost area; high is a bigger job or a high-cost city.
Yes. The same job costs more where labor and rent cost more. Here's how gas line prices in the biggest US metros compare with the US typical of $650.
Labor, rent and demand move every job on this page in the same direction. Open your city's guide for its full local price list.
A standard hookup at $125–$450 covers disconnecting the old appliance, fitting a new flexible gas connector, checking or replacing the shutoff valve, connecting, testing every joint for leaks and checking the burners light properly. Most hookups take 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Ask for a new connector rather than reusing the old one. Connectors are cheap, and an old one that has been bent behind a range for years is a common leak point.
If there is no capped gas valve behind the appliance, you need a new branch from the nearest gas pipe. For a short run that's $300–$1,500, so a new line plus a range hookup lands at $425–$1,950 and a dryer at $400–$1,850.
An electric range can't be converted to gas. Switching means buying a gas range and running a line to it. A gas dryer also needs a standard power outlet for its drum and controls.
A gas wall oven hookup runs $150–$600. It costs more than a freestanding range because the oven sits in a cabinet and the connection is harder to reach; cabinet changes add more.
Gas cooktops connect like a range, at $125–$450 on an existing line. Islands are the exception: a new line under the floor to an island often costs near the top of the $300–$1,500 short-run range.
New gas piping needs a licensed plumber or gas fitter and, in most US cities, a permit ($50–$350) and a pressure test. A straight swap onto an existing valve often needs no permit, but rules vary, so ask your building department.
Even where a homeowner may legally connect an appliance, a leak is dangerous. A pro will leak-test every joint and check the appliance is set for your gas type.
Book the range and dryer together so one visit and one service fee ($75–$275) covers both. If you're buying a new appliance, ask whether the store's installers do gas hookups and what they leave out.
Measure before you buy. A range that lines up with the existing valve is a simple hookup; moving it a few feet means a new line.

Usually 30 minutes to 2 hours if the gas valve is already behind the stove. A new line adds 2–4 hours.
No. You buy a gas model and run a gas line to it. With a short new line, a dryer costs about $400–$1,850 installed, before the dryer itself.
Most installers fit a new one. They are cheap, and an old connector that has been bent and moved is a common source of leaks.
Yes. A gas dryer uses gas for heat but needs a standard outlet for the drum, fan and controls. It also needs a vent to the outside; a new vent runs $140–$600.
For new gas piping, almost always. For a straight swap onto an existing valve, often not, but it depends on your city. A gas permit typically costs $50–$350.
