Gas stoves vs electric

4 years ago

I've heard California has banned gas stoves for new construction. What about remodels? I've been leaning to going with an electric stove just to avoid any future issues. I do not live in California. I know there are some nicer stoves out there and I am also looking at a nicer hood. Will this still make my look that i woukd like to achieve? Thanks.

    When you refer to "electric stove", your search words on the internet should be "induction range". The "electric stove" with coils or electric-under-glass that I think you mean is being outmoded by induction. Induction ranges or cooktops are powered by electricity.

    Will this still make my look that i woukd like to achieve?

    Since you did not tell us what look you are trying to achieve, it is impossible to answer specifically to your kitchen. However, an induction range should go anywhere.

    Your words "a nicer hood" could mean anything, so there is no way to advise you on the hood without more information on what you are talking about when you say "a nicer hood".

    California has banned new construction from using natural gas, they haven't banned gas stoves. California is a fascist state controlling everything but still allows some basic rights and private capitalism to exist, but with a heavy thumb and lots of regulations they micromanage everything . Don't worry about what the fascist want to be communists in California do and use the natural gas if you have it and want it.

    You want an induction stove or cooktop. It's actually better than gas and cleaner. Read up on induction cooking.

    Agree- induction is the way to go.

    Remodels you can do whatever you want. goal will be no gas in new houses and require solar. We changed from gas to induction with our reno and i couldn’t be happier. definitely never going back to gas. love the super low heat and now gas takes forever to boil water in comparison! also handles stay cool without the fire heating things up. it’s definitely a more modern look but so easy to clean.

    Induction all the way! We love ours! I was so skeptical after having loved our gas rangetop but I adore induction. It is sooooo much easier to clean. Electric would be a the bottom of my list. My MIL cheaped out on her kitchen and got electric and it is such a PITA when we have family gatherings there. She was scared of gas and wouldn't spend the money on induction so we (the three DIL's) are thinking of all pitching in and buying her an induction cooktop and new cookware....lol.
