My old gas stove vs my new induction, the energy bill is wild
I used to cook everything on this beat-up gas range from the 90s, the kind with pilot lights that just burned gas all day. My electric bill was always low but the gas bill in winter hit like $80 and my kitchen felt like a sauna every July. Last May I switched to a basic induction cooktop after our landlord finally allowed it, and honestly the change is way bigger than I thought. The water boils in like 2 minutes instead of 8, and my gas bill dropped to about $25 a month, which adds up to maybe $660 a year saved. But what really sold me is the heat loss, I can touch the counter right next to the pan and it stays cool, so my AC isn't fighting the stove anymore. Has anyone else made this swap and noticed their whole house feels less stuffy, or is that just me?
