Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need new pans for induction?+

Induction requires magnetic cookware (cast iron, magnetic stainless steel). Most modern stainless steel cookware works. Test with a magnet — if it sticks to the bottom, it's compatible.

Will I need an electrical upgrade?+

If replacing a gas cooktop, you'll likely need a 240V circuit installed. This typically costs $200-$500 and may qualify for a separate panel upgrade rebate if your panel needs upgrading.

Is induction faster than gas?+

Yes! Induction boils water 25-50% faster than gas. It's also more precise with instant temperature control and significantly safer (surface stays cool except directly under the pan).
