How much energy does your cooktop use?

A gas cooktop is currently the most affordable type of cooktop, but this'll change. The gas prices are rising faster than the electricity prices. Do you have solar panels on your roof? You'll save at least € 70 when you cook, because you're the one who generates the electricity. An induction cooktop is much more affordable than a gas cooktop, despite the high purchase price.

If you only use gas at home for cooking, it's wise to switch to electricity completely. You won't pay for both gas and electricity as a result, only for electricity. The fixed supply costs that consist of the fixed amount that you pay for gas or electricity will decrease. Note: this depends on what cooktop type you have and which energy supplier you have a contract with.

Curious about the energy consumption, because you want to live more sustainably? The CO2 emission of an induction cooktop and gas cooktop are about the same at the moment. That's because many households don't use renewable energy yet. But the demand for green energy is growing. In addition, more and more people want to generate energy themselves. They place solar panels on their roofs, for example. Do you have green energy or have solar panels? In that case, the CO2 emission of an induction cooktop is lower.
