The federal government doesn't understand the consequences of banning has stoves. Dwelling units (the home you live in) are always built by the lowest bidder utilizing thee cheapest method of installation. When building homes, an electrician performs a load calculation to determine how big the service needs to be. Gas appliances reduce the size of the required service. Why install a 200-amp service when you only need a 100-amp service? This is true for all dwelling units. Electric ranges increase the required size of a service by 33-amps minimum. What does this mean? It means a simpler ban on your gas stove that you cannot replace when it fails might cost more than you would expect. At the minimum, you will need a new circuit to your required electric range. Home Depot sells 6-3 Romex at about $6 per foot. Receptacle, box, and breaker are cheap. The electrician might take a couple hours to half the day of the house is difficult. Apartments and condos are even worse. Way worse. New post worthy worse.
