Most probably getting an induction range. How do I know if I need to enhance the electrical panel ?
And if I do need to upgrade the whatever it is I need to upgrade on the panel how much would that cost ?
Anybody want to chime in with the pros and cons of induction ?
Our crappy Samsung electrical cooktop cracked and crapped out just over 5 years and for the past year we've been using the single tabletop induction cooking unit from Ikea, which I have to admit has been really good for what it is.
Thanks.
Edit: I end up picking up the Tvarsaker from Ikea. The main reason was that I wanted induction and it came with a 5-year warranty where a regular appliances usually come with a 1-year warranty. It was also made by Frigidaire so I wasn't too particularly concerned as my last Samsung cooktop only last 5 years before things started failing.
I thought I would have to change something from the breaker box but it seems to be the same voltage for the amps so I might increase it to 50 eventually but the requirement is 40.
If you're picking up this particular range just be advised that it does not have a socket where you can plug anything in unlike my last cooktop where there was a built-in socket.
