EFFICIENCY
Induction is more efficient than gas or traditional electric stoves.
Buying an induction cooktop is one of the easiest and most affordable steps you can take on your electrification journey.
Maybe not! But a portable induction cooktop can reduce your gas use significantly, which will in turn reduce your exposure to indoor air pollution. You can also use other small electric appliances like an Instant Pot, air fryer, or toaster oven to reduce your gas cooking without replacing your stove. If you do still have to use your gas stove sometimes, remember to turn on your fan or hood vent and open a window, if the weather permits.
Here’s a handy guide to talking to your landlord about all sorts of major electrification projects, including upgrading to an induction stove. First, tell your landlord that gas stoves are dangerous and bad for the health of their tenants (that’s you!). You can also mention that the federal government recently created new incentives and tax credits that cover some of the costs of induction stoves.
