xp: Converting to electric from gas/oil??

[lolc]

Has anyone done this? We were going to convert from propane gas to natural gas, but apparently there is not enough "interest" in our area so it is not currently available. I am not a fan of propane - not only is the tank unsightly, but I hate the smell and it's strong every time I use the oven. Plus the cost is stupidly expensive!! I was just told we can expect a rate hike in January (and propane is more expensive than electric, which surprised me when I found that out!)

I'd need to replace the water heater (which is original, from 1993) and the range oven, which I am happy to do because the one we currently have is black and I'm going for a SS look, but those are the only two that are on the propane.

I would need to have an electrical outlet behind the range installed, and we would need to convert the water heater system from propane to electric.

Has anybody here converted to electric (from something else, gas, oil, etc?) How much did it cost to convert (and are you including the cost for the appliances you needed to replace?)

was it you who just posted a question like this a couple weeks ago?

I feel like it just came up.

I know my dad spent thousands to convert from oil to natural gas which involved running a line from the street and new furnace and water heater.
