The average cost of a gas stove in the United States ranges from $300 to $2,500 depending on brand, features, and size. Entry-level models typically cost between $300 and $600, mid-range stoves range from $600 to $1,200, and premium models with advanced features or high-end finishes can exceed $2,000. Installation fees, which average $100 to $300, are additional expenses.

The price variance stems from differences in design, technology, and market demand. According to a 2023 report by the Consumer Electronics Association, 70% of gas stoves sold in the U.S. cost between $400 and $1,500, with 15% of consumers purchasing premium models above $1,500. Key factors influencing cost include:

1. Features: Smart connectivity, precise temperature control, and energy-efficient burners increase prices. For example, stoves with Wi-Fi integration cost 20–30% more than basic models.

2. Brand and Quality: Established brands like Bosch and Frigidaire command higher prices due to durability and customer support. Budget brands like Kenmore or Whirlpool often cost 30–50% less.

3. Size and BTU Ratings: Larger cooktops (36–48 inches) with higher BTU outputs (10,000–15,000 BTU) cost more than compact models.

4. Installation: Professional installation, including gas line adjustments and ventilation, adds $100–$300. Energy Star-certified stoves, which use 10–15% less gas, are 10–20% pricier but offer long-term savings.

Data from Best Buy’s 2023 appliance survey shows that 45% of buyers prioritize price over brand, while 35% opt for premium models citing better performance. Gas stoves remain cost-effective compared to electric counterparts, which average $400–$1,800, but upfront costs are higher due to specialized components like gas valves and connectors. Market trends suggest prices will rise 5–8% annually due to supply chain challenges and material inflation, particularly for stainless steel and copper parts.
