I need a new stove. I have gas, thought to switch to electric. Turns out I need to rewire the space bc the gas stove takes 110 and the electric will take 220. My kitchen is tiny, so I have a 24 inch wide stove, which is already about twice the price of a standard 30 inch wide. (Yep. Makes no sense, but there it is.)

And the rewiring will add another cost. So now I'm not sure about switching.

Anyone have any idea how much it should cost to switch an outlet from 110 to 220?
