Gas vs Electric ranges
I just purchased a two-family house and plan on renting it out. I will be providing all of the utilities except electricity. The current stoves are gas and are 20inch units with a pilot light that stays on all the time (meaning I have to pay)
My question is if I should switch to electric stove? I would have to..
-pay for someone to pull 240v to 1st floor and 2nd floor unit
-purchase 2 new electric ranges.
Suggestions and thoughts?

In my area it is cheaper to use gas. Electricity at sometimes in the past has been cheaper.
Not sure how much each cost in your area. I would think it'll take awhile to recoop the cost if it is only a small difference. If there is a large difference it might be worthwhile.
