Which is More Expensive - Gas or Electric?

I'm often asked, "Joe, I've got to buy a new range, and am struggling with gas vs electric. Which one would you recommend? The struggle is primarily money. My best advise if you're looking at the financial side of things is to do research and find out which one (gas or electric) costs less in your area. The fact is that it can vary from city to city, and even state to state. And to compound this problem even further, it can vary from season to season. Do this research, and it'll become clear the choice you need to make for your area and your price concerns.

Ranges Reviews: Gas Ranges, Kitchen Stoves, Electrical Ranges

I analyzed and have compiled my reviews of ranges, identifying the electrical, gas and twin-fuel ranges that are popular amongst consumers these days. I've looked at these ranges over the course of several months by boiling water, simmering sauces, baking cookies and broiling food. The gas stove varies from one high-powered burner and one simmer burner, but no warming drawer, and reviews say the oven window is inconveniently small. Coil-prime electrical ranges are losing the recognition amongst consumers as well. By comparison, Hotpoint, Frigidaire and GE gas ranges have a median repair rate of less than 9 percent.

Should I Purchase a Gas or Electric Stove/Range?

Is it better to purchase a gas or electric range? Whether in the shape of a freestanding range, cooktop or built-in type, everyone wants a stove. Gas and electrical stoves are widely available. So the question is, what is best, a gas or electrical range? Is there huge distinction between the two? Equipment has finally brought gas and electric to surface for you and I, and with it, a decision. As with most home appliances, comparison searching and a data of accessible features are a
consumer's best friends when it comes to buying a stove. A gas or electrical range can provide much needed energy, but I think the choice between the two is dependent on whether or not gas is cheaper than electrical depends on the price of gas and electricity in your area. It varies widely from city to city, and even among states -- and even significantly throughout the year.
