Replace Gas with Electric?

Posted

I am under contract on a property in Jacksonville, Fl (primary exit strategy is flip) which currently has a gas stove, and gas water heater, but electric heating and no gas line at the clothes dryer. Behind the stove, there is the gas line, a 110v, and a 220v outlet. The water heater and stove need to be replaced regardless, but my question is; should I replace these with gas or electric? Does it matter?

Thanks

@James Bailey If this was your primary residence, I'd say go with gas, but since its a flip, do whatever is most cost effective. Its a hot market and if the beds and space fit what someone wants, they wont question electric vs gas. Good luck! 

 That's just what I was thinking. Thanks!
