Oct 26, 2013 at 9:51 comment added Frederik In the UK, electricity is about 2-3x the price of gas per kWh. Gas cooking is about 40% efficient, induction around 80%. So, induction breaks even at best compared to gas running cost wise but likely to be worse from a Total Cost of Ownership perspective given that induction hobs are more expensive. Not clear on the longevity/reliability of induction hobs, all I found was an NAHB study that puts it at 10 years for induction, 15 for gas.
