You're not switching from electric to gas are you? If you are,
hopefully you already have a gas line installed.

They might be buying, but give them some input anyway... and be sure
to get at least one flame tamer if it's gas. My cooktop has 4 high
powered burners and 2 not so high powered ones but I still have to
watch pots that are on for a long simmer because they will go dry on
me otherwise. I didn't have to pay such close attention to my cooking
with electric burners.
