I'd guess $3,000 to $4,000 with the required change of hardware and adding a 220 line.

Running a 220 line shouldn't run over a hundred dollars. We just redid our kitchen in Ohio and had a lot of electrical work done, undercounter lights, moving major appliances and moving switches. A
nice new electric stove would be around seven hundred dollars and a decent new dryer would be five. What have I forgotten. Oh, the heat pump. BUT I think that is what I would do. Just change to electric. It is a real crap shoot. As my sainted mother would say, if you're born to hang, you won't drown.
I do feel bad and realize that I too would change out. Our house is new too. What a disappointment. But it is a fixable thing, not like some troubles we have to face that we can't fix for sure.
