A:Answer Hi, Martha! While a gas range doesn't draw anywhere near the same amount of current as an electric range, a gas oven still requires a little electricity. Yet, the power isn't for heating, but for running the gas igniter and any accessories the unit features, such as a clock/timer and oven light. However, so that you are able to get the correct information pertaining, to any installation concerns. We recommend connecting with your local BestBuy specialist directly at your convenience. -Ciara
