IMO if put gas in don’t use CSST yellow corrugated lines in attic. IMO too high risk. Also IMO electric water heater much easier to replace and cheaper. Also IMO electric dryer same. If cook lot gas stove nice, if you don’t also IMO not worth it. I have gas, water heater, furnace, and stove bill runs. Around 30. In summer and around 80. In short winter months. All of this is my opinion so take it for what it worth?

The main danger with corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) gas lines is the risk of gas leaks and fire/explosion from electrical arcing caused by lightning strikes. CSST's thin walls make it vulnerable to being punctured by lightning-induced electrical arcing, which can then ignite the escaping gas. These fires can be difficult to locate and can lead to catastrophic structural damage and serious injuries, especially for firefighters. Proper electrical bonding and grounding of the CSST system is essential
