Does Anyone Know About How Much It Should Cost To Run Gas Line Into Our Kitchen?
We currently have an electric stove, which I hate. We do have gas heat, and a gas fireplace, so we do have gas lines going into the house. We just need to run a line into the kitchen. I wanted to get an idea before we call our HVAC guy.

Karen, I think you’d need a plumber (who is familiar w/ gas hookups) and not an HVAC contractor, as HVAC contractors have to do with central air conditioning systems. I understand you want just an “idea” before you call your contractor, but that could be a mistake because what you are really doing is comparing, in effect, apples to oranges as opposed to oranges to oranges: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location, so what posters say on here will be very likely different from the actual cost you would be assessed by a local contractor.
So, your best bet is to get a lot of estimates. Call several local plumbers around to get free estimates.
Better yet, for your convenience, you can also seek assistance from the following handyman site link, which includes on its web page a text-link ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates from local plumbing contractors who can provide you free estimates and quickly, too (when you click on the link below, you’ll be taken to a handyman page where you’ll just scroll down a bit to arrive at the text-link, “Find Local Plumbing Services…Get Up to 4 Quotes Now…Free”):http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyma…
Get your free estimates. That way you’ll get information that is relevant to your local area, including relevant costs of running a gas line into your kitchen. The rule of thumb is to get at least three estimates from which to later on choose the best estimate as to quality and price in order to avoid getting ripped off. If you negotiate well with the plumber, you might get wholesale pricing on the material (i.e., the gas piping) from the plumber, as plumbers usually get discounted wholesale pricing on materials given the amount of work they do. Good luck with your plumbing project!

It is really hard to say without looking at the job.
If the existing gas lines are easy to get to and close to the kitchen it may only cost a few hundred dollars. It could cost much more depending on what needs to be done.
Typically plumbers do gas piping. Most will give free estimates. I would call several plumbing companies and ask them for quotes.

nobody can answer this question without the following info: is this a one or two story? what is below or above the kitchen? is it finished or rough? How far from the fireplace is the stove? The best way to get costs is to call 3 different places to come give you a FREE estimate. AND DON’T PICK THE CHEAPEST.

I would hope around $100 – $150 range.
Copper tubing and some pipe into your kitchen with some connectors and shut off valves.
Labor and the service call will be the bulk of the cost.
