Can you convert a gas stove to an electric stove?

In: Home Electricity, Modification of Old Electrical Work, Electrical Wiring [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is possible to convert a gas stove to an electrical stove. Not only would you need to wire the stove for electricity but you would need to have a metal worker create metal bases for the electrical elements and also arrange for some insulation. It would be more expensive than simply purchasing an electric stove. Unless the gas stove has some special design that fits in with the decor, the project would not be worthwhile.
