Answer 1

Figure $8 per foot. Average is 450 unless it is a crawl space if so double.

Answer 2

You would obviously have to buy a replacement stove so there is a number between $400 and $6000 depending on how fancy that stove is. You need to pay to get the new one delivered and the old one removed, which sometimes comes with the stove's purchase but could be a couple of hundred dollars if not. You need to get a gas-fitting plumber in to do a days work in putting the gas outlet pipe and a shutoff valve near the new stove location and to provide the flexible fittings to connect the stove itself. That is probably a hundred dollars or so depending on how much effort it turns out to be.

People who cook using gas always express a lot of enthusiasm for the heat control they can get compared to electric. So if you don't mind the expense go for it.
