(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/carbonsw/public_html/carbonswitchcms/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Induction stoves are becoming more popular, as more people look at removing gas from their home. Up to one-third of people plan to consider induction<\/a> for their next range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But only having had two real options for decades, people might wonder how much a switch to induction really costs. So we asked homeowners who took the induction leap to look up their receipts and share how much it costs to install their stoves. We also priced out the best-selling and most well-reviewed induction stoves at appliance stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what 90 recent induction stove buyers told us it cost them to buy and set up their induction stoves and ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the 90 people who responded to our survey, the average cost of their induction stove was $2,231<\/strong>. They ranged in price from $600 to $9,200<\/strong>, though only four of them cost more than about $4,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We surveyed the best-selling models at Home Depot, Lowes, and Best Buy, and priced out the best-reviewed models on editorial review sites. We saw a price range of roughly $1,100 to $4,400 for the most popular models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a noticeable jump between standard models costing as little as $1,100, and feature-rich models costing $3,000 or more. The higher-priced models tend to have the knobs that some cooks strongly prefer to touch-sensitive controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many homes that were built with gas stoves don\u2019t have the proper electrical wiring for induction stoves. So we asked a few questions about the cost of electrical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among those we surveyed, only 15 people (about 16%) said they had to upgrade their electrical panel<\/strong>, and 11 of them did so as part of a larger remodel or construction project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 39 people (43%) had a new 220-volt outlet installed<\/strong> and wired for their stove, but it was part of a larger project for 20 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unsurprisingly the percentage of homeowners that had to pay for electrical work was higher among those switching from gas stoves than traditional electric. 59 people (65%) that switched from gas had to pay for electrical work<\/strong>. By comparison, only 4 (13%) people that switched from a traditional electric stove had to pay for electrical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The average cost for all the electrical work was $987<\/strong> among homeowners that had to pay for this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some noted that their induction stove was part of a wider project to upgrade their electrical systems. For example, one homeowner wanted to \u201cBring a 1950s kitchen up to code\u201d. A handful of people were making room for not just an induction stove, but also rewiring for an electric vehicle charger. One respondent planned to replace their furnace and hot water heater, presumably with a heat pump and hybrid water heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only three of our 90 respondents reported receiving rebates for their induction stove upgrade: $300, $380, and $600, for stoves that were relatively expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn\u2019t ask where they received rebates, but given the lack of rebates available for switching to induction, we assume these came from the manufacturers, not government programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also asked people how happy they were with their induction stove, and what motivated them to switch from what they had before. Their responses, on a scale of 1-10, averaged 9.25<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nAverage cost of an induction stove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
