Should you switch from gas to induction during a kitchen remodel?
Switching from gas to induction is easiest during a kitchen remodel, because the walls are open and an electrician is already on the job. Induction heats the cookware directly, responds quickly and leaves the surrounding surface relatively cool.
The main question is electrical capacity. An induction range typically needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and some older panels lack the room. A load calculation shows whether you need a panel upgrade or a lower-draw model. The gas line is then capped, which is plumbing work.
Some cities add local rules. Menlo Park, for example, requires electrical pre-wiring in certain projects that touch a space with a gas appliance. Your remodeler can tell you what applies at your address.
