New propane gas stove installation

milesbob · 03-05-2021, 10:24 PM

I got a new gas stove that needs to be installed by a licensed plumber. It needs to be converted to propane. Does anyone know someone who can do this. I recognize this is a small job but might fit in nicely with someone’s other jobs or a side gig.

Thanks for any advice or recommendations

I take delivery of a new "dual fuel" range Friday.

It will have a gas cook top and electric ovens.

We have propane service for heat, water heating, a fireplace and now we will have it for the new range.

Our propane supplier, Dead River, did the preliminary gas piping and will do the conversion and final connection.

I suggest a call to whoever sells you propane.

I don't know about the plumber, but having been through the propane/natural gas thing a couple of times, I'm pretty sure you need parts specific to your stove. You should check with the manufacturer before calling the plumber

1) Never tell a gas fitter/plumber it's a small job.

2) Where is the stove located?

My new range, which is Cafe brand, comes with a conversion kit.

It is in a small bag attached to the rear of the stove.

I'll put the natural gas parts back into the bag and keep it there for possible future use.

Your propane company should be able to help you out.
