At first it would appear that expansive upscale kitchens alone can afford to be outfitted with drop in gas ranges. The drop in variety have the most customized appearance and the assumption is you are incorporating one into expensive customized cabinetry. It is further supposed that your kitchen space can accommodate an exhaust hood over the cooking range, and storage for pots and pans someplace other than underneath the cooktop, cabinet space that a drop in range is going to take over. The good news is that drop in gas range prices are less of a luxury than you might have originally thought.
Drop in gas ranges prices need not hike up due to the cost of integrating this appliance into your current kitchen layout. Many appliance stores offer inexpensive customized-looking kitchen cabinetry with space already cut out and waiting for a gas range to be dropped in. A drop in range requires little to no installation save for a cabinet front panel at the bottom. In some cases, the cabinet panel can make room for smaller bottom drawers. In comparison, slide in gas ranges need side panels installed to cover up grooves for sliding one into the countertop, which means that they need countertop space on the outset.
Gas ranges are cooktops and ovens in one, offering more cooking options than gas stoves, which serve only as cooktops without ovens. The use of natural gas or liquid propane as fuel source provides more than a few cents of energy savings compared to electric ranges. A dual fuel cooking range is another smart choice. Instead of having a bulky range hood inch its way along a cramped kitchen, a ceiling or window mounted exhaust fan is a space-efficient alternative.
It is easy to find a variety of brand new and used units at a discount on the internet. Drop in gas ranges prices fall within the $1,000 to $5,000 range with highly specialized models costing more. Known brands from Bosch to GE, KitchenAid, Maytag, Thermador, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Summit, DCS, Electrolux, and Dacor carry upmarket to low-end lines to suit your needs and budget
