How much does it cost to switch from gas to induction?
Expect the range ($1,000–$4,000) plus a 240V/50A circuit ($250–$900 nationally, $2,500–$3,500 in high-cost areas), $150–$400 to cap the gas line and possibly new cookware. A HEEHRA rebate can return up to $840 if you qualify.
An induction range draws close to 50 amps, so the panel needs capacity and an open slot; a 6-gauge copper circuit to a NEMA 14-50 outlet is typical. Test pans with a magnet: if it sticks firmly, the pan works.
HEEHRA rebates require income at or below 150% of area median, a participating contractor and reserving funds before installation.

Best Stove for the Money: Gas, Electric or Induction, and How Much to SpendBy Purchasd Research. We compared gas, radiant electric, induction and dual-fuel ranges, and ranges against cooktop-and-wall-oven setups, using one retailer's published first-year service data (Yale Appliance, 2025 data, updated October 2026) for gas, electric and induction ranges; Consumer Reports' 2025 brand scores and its 2026 induction pick through secondary reporting; ENERGY STAR efficiency figures; a Stanford indoor-air study; national cost guides for prices, installation and repairs; a nine-company repair-technician panel; CPSC recall and safety notices; a home-inspector checklist for used units; and fourteen Reddit threads (about 300 comments) plus owner forums and secondary roundups. Owner evidence was used to find recurring complaints, never to estimate failure rates. No range was tested by Purchasd. Purchasd received no manufacturer payment, review units or affiliate consideration for this research. Several sources sell appliances, repairs or related products, and each is labeled by bias. One Consumer Reports summary was read from a reprint hosted by LG, whose brand scored first.
