If you are going to need to run gas lines and put in exhaust venting, it may be just as economical to go with an induction range.
I already have a vented exhaust and access to the floor in the kitchen is readily available. I can see the electrical wiring for the existing range from the basement. Should be relatively easy to add the gas line and wall box. I might even stub out the box myself first just to make sure, but I won't do gas lines. I'm sure I could, it is just pipe and fittings but from a safety and liability standpoint that it one of the things that just isn;'t worth doing myself. Didn't realize that wasn't standard in a kitchen? What do you do about the moisture from boiling a pot of water or just the smoke from searing some meat if you don't have a vent?
I watched some of the videos from Yale, and GE seems to be on the top of their list for relatively inexpensive models. I'd love a Wolf, but my budget is sub $1000. We will probably be moving in 1-5 years, so it isn't worth the investment in a high end range.
