It\u2019s induction month at Carbon Switch<\/u><\/a> and I\u2019m excited to share our first two stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week we published two guides comparing the different options homeowners have when it comes to getting a new stove: one on induction vs. gas stoves<\/u><\/a> and another on induction vs. traditional electric stoves<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends don’t let friends install gas stoves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Readers of this newsletter won\u2019t be surprised to learn that we recommend induction stoves over gas stoves. Cooking with gas stoves causes indoor air pollution<\/u><\/a> and may be one of the leading causes of child asthma in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just this week, the American Medical Association voted on a new policy position<\/u><\/a>, stating that gas cooking \u201cincreases household air pollution and the risk of childhood asthma and asthma severity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gas stoves are also bad for the environment. The methane that leaks from gas stoves every year\u2014just the functioning stove, not any gas lines\u2014has the same emissions potential as 500,000 gasoline-powered cars<\/a> on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how does an induction stove compare to a traditional electric cooktop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Induction doesn’t save much electricity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people hear that induction stoves are more energy efficient than electric stoves and think that makes them the clear environmentally-friendly choice. But the truth is that the energy savings aren\u2019t much to write home about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Energy Information Agency (EIA)<\/u><\/a>, the average home uses 11,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. Only 1.4% (140 kWh) of that electricity is used for cooking. Induction stoves are about 10% more efficient than electric stoves. So we\u2019re talking about 14 kWh of savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put that in perspective, consider that switching to a heat pump water heater<\/u><\/a> will save you 2,000-4,000 kWh. Even switching a single LED bulb<\/u><\/a> will save you more electricity (35 kWh per year) than an induction stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re paying for a better cooking experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So what\u2019s the appeal of induction over traditional electric? It mostly comes down to cooking performance. Many professional chefs<\/u><\/a> will tell you it\u2019s a superior experience. It\u2019s lightning fast, responsive, and easier to clean up when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that better performance comes with a cost. As Kevin<\/a> writes in our guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Browsing major appliance vendors,\u00a0electric stoves cost between $550-$2,000<\/strong>, from the most basic, exposed-coil, knob-operated model to flat-top, air-frying models that clean themselves with steam.\u200b <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same stores, most\u00a0induction stoves start at $1,200 and run up to $2,000<\/strong>, within mainstream brands and common sizes. Premium models with more features start at $3,000.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the decision of whether or not to choose induction is really a question of how much you\u2019re willing to pay for a better cooking experience. If money\u2019s tight, and the idea of a more responsive cooktop doesn\u2019t speak to you, we recommend going with a traditional electric stove. Otherwise, we say splurge and get the induction stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But whatever you do, don\u2019t install another gas stove. To quote Kevin: \u201cElectrifying your home, with as many efficient devices as possible, helps move us all closer to a world without fossil fuels.\u201d And that\u2019s a world we can all aspire to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
