You'd be surprised at how much it could cost to run a new 240v circuit, especially if your house doesn't have a crawl space or an easily accessible attic.

(I'm mostly talking about the US here. this probably doesn't apply to Europe an other places)

Don't all electric ranges already run on 240V? Why would you need to run a new circuit? I mean I've seen houses where the owner chose to install a gas range but the electric line was already in place. I've only ever seen one apartment that had gas but no electric service in the kitchen, so I guess I'm not seeing the problem?
