Moving in to a new home comes with a lot of relocation and home set up confusion. Have you got around to purchasing your new kitchen essentials?
A sure question in the minds of new home owners is selecting a new stove for their kitchen. Many face a challenge in picking out the right choice among a wide range of options arising from gas cooktop to stand alone range and from electric cooktop to induction cooktops.
In this article we help to clear some confusion and compare gas stove vs electric stove.
The gas stove which was established earlier than the electric stove usually uses propane, natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas while an electric stove uses electricity to heat its coils. While gas stoves are more expensive to buy they are comparatively cheaper to use than electric stoves.
Historically Propane/LPG has been considered to be of better value and more cost effective when compared to electricity.
It seems like the scale is tipping over in favor of the gas stove. Let’s differentiate it further with the below comparison chart to help our new home owners or those looking to make the right investment on their next cooking stove make a decision.
