How do you know if a gas stove can be installed?

[abloomcinti]

I was re-routed to post on the plumbing forum by someone at the appliances forum.

I am about to purchase a condo, but none that I have looked at has a gas stove. There is one property built in the 1940s that visibly has a gas hookup in the kitchen. My real estate agent says most properties in this area have electric stoves ... However, some have natural gas heating. Does that mean there is gas line in the building and I could have a gas hookup installed in the kitchen? What things do I need to look for to find out if a gas stove can be installed?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you have natural gas supplied to the building you can have a gas stove hooked up. If there is not already a gas line in place you can have one installed...

If natural gas is not supplied to the house you can have an lp gas bottle and line installed...

Either way you can have a gas stove if you want one...
