Water heater and rangetop are gas, but strangely the oven is electric.
I'd prefer that, actually. There are high-end ovens where you pay
extra for that. Some of the difference is highly subjective (i.e. the
debate over whether electric ovens produce "dry" heat that gas ovens
don't sounds like the exact same debate for which I lambaste
audiophiles), but I find that the thermostat control on an electric
oven is more exact. I couldn't tell you why. Cheap models of all
kinds are atrocious in any case.
To add to the previous discussion, our clothes dryer plugs into a
standard 110v GFI (GFCI, if you'd prefer) outlet. Of course, it's a
gas clothes dryer because we live in the city and have cheap natural
gas, so we pay half as much to dry our clothes (line drying is just
a step too far for us, except for the baby's cloth diaper shells,
which are supposed to be).

Oven is Tappan? gas
I'd kill to have natural gas, but the only option here is propane--
and I don't want that stuff anywhere near my house (heavier than air,
so a leak will tend to collect in pockets in the basement.
