Following @curious_founder’s awesome research on gas stoves, we’ve seen a significant increase in interest in induction ranges. Fun install yesterday where we got to swap out a gas range for a new, ultra-efficient, modern induction range.

A thread 🧵

Removing a gas cooktop and replacing it with induction on the surface requires simply removing the old unit, dropping in the new one, and capping the gas line.

Behind the scenes though, it can require a lot more - especially to get the electrical wiring right!

Many homes have insufficient panel space to add a new 40A circuit breaker. And combining circuits may not always work. So, time to get creative! We used a SimpleSwitch to be able to dynamically send electricity to either the induction range or the dryer.

Running electrical often means cutting into drywall.

And then patching it up.

And, before you know it, you’re cooking with induction! It’s the most efficient, precise, and SAFE way to cook. Plus, cleaning is a breeze! Read more: switchison.org/cooking
