New homes in the US may not be “electrical ready” after an international standards agency excluded building electrification measures from its latest energy code.
"…Because the heating process for induction is both faster and more precise, you end up saving on your energy bill. It won’t be a major difference, but given that an induction cooktop is about 5 to 10 percent more efficient than an electric smoothtop, it’s still a better choice for the planet. "
That’s not a huge savings, which might be a consideration given the cost of induction cooktops versus electric resistance stoves.
I have tried two different induction hobs, and find them to be well powered and convenient to use. I’m still in the process of deciding on which one to replace my gas stove/oven. It’s a chunk 'o change, so I want to be smart about spending it.
