Induction Cooking
Induction cooktops are one of the most energy-efficient cooking methods out there. Upgrading your gas stove to induction offers many benefits, including better indoor air quality and improved safety. They also produce less ambient heat than gas ranges, which means a cooler kitchen and lower summer air-conditioning costs.
