Yes, you could. But the question remains, are there 220 volt electric outlets to where the gas appliances used to be? In our house there is a 220 for the dryer in our gas-equipped house. There is no 220 for the gas hot water heater. I don't know if there is a 220 for the stove. The big expense would be to retrofit the AC/Heat unit to all electric. I'd guess $3,000 to $4,000 with the required change of hardware and adding a 220 line.
