[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]induction stoves use very little electricity and no one will need to do a heavy up to install one.

I love my induction, and wouldn't ever want to go back to gas. But misinformation like you're posting doesn't help anyone. Induction needs a dedicated 240V/208V circuit just like regular electric. In fact, my induction cooktop calls for a higher amperage circuit than the regular electric cooktop it replaced. If a gas cooktop or range is being replaced with electric, a new 240V/208V circuit will almost certainly have to be added. Some of these installations, especially in older structures, are going to need a heavy-up.[/quote]

Yes you need a 240V line for an induction stove but in net induction stoves don't actually use that much electricity.

Sure older houses often need heavy-ups but the additional demand on the box from an induction stove is negligible - it is the heat pump and EV charger that put you over the top not an induction stove.[/quote]
