Buying Guide
Selecting a gas range over and electric range is an easy choice.  Gas offers you the visible control and is the chef's choice.  But deciding which gas range to purchase can take some time and effort.  

Here are a few features to consider in new range...

Range Size and Style
The standard size for most ranges is 30".  The two types are freestanding which is the most common, drop in, and slide in.  Drop in and slide in ranges are similar.  The range is built into the countertop and cabinets.  The freestanding range is usually between two cabinets, or is actually freestanding.  If you are remodeling, choosing the type of range is part of cabinet and countertop selection process.  If you are considering replacing your existing range with new, simply measure the width of the range and you will know the size you need.  We offer ranges as small as 20 inch for apartments.

Ranges generally come in black, white, biscuit, and stainless.  Some models combine colors.  Of course, this choice depends on your kitchen decor and your personal preferences.

Recommended Cooking Features

• Sealed burners prevent spills from flowing down under the cook top.  This feature is a big time saver is you have a boil over.
• Simmer burners allow the flame to be reduced to a very low level.  Perfect for those times when just tiny bit of heat is required.
• Power burners are useful for stir frying of heating up large pots in a hurry.
• Convection ovens circulate the heated air in the oven and speed up the baking process.  Convection ovens can save energy and allow you to lower cooking temperature in some cases.

FAQs

How can I convert from an electric to a gas range?
If there was a gas range in your kitchen at one time, chances are the gas line is still accessible.  Switching from electric to gas in that case is easy, as we simply connect the gas range to the old line.  It will be necessary to plug the new range in to a standard electric outlet.  If there is no gas to the area of the range, our installation contractor can provide you with you an estimate for running the gas line, as well as an electric outlet, if needed for a nomimal fee.  We will waive the fee if the job proceeds.

How long does it take to install?
In most cases, installation can be completed within three days of your order.
