I had a gas range in my kitchen. I want to install an electric range. Should I use 6 gauge or 8 gauge wiring? gas is far better for burners. by the time you add a new breaker, proper cable etc etc. remember 4 wire cable and receptable is now required you will find it far cheaper to stick with gas......... |
