In Marsh Bend, we have gas oven/stove, on demand gas water heater, and gas dryer. Heatpump HVAC with gas backup heat.

I'm the cook in the family, and using gas stove for the first time. Took some getting used to. In our Oregon home I had to Miele induction cooktop, microwave/convection, and full size convection oven for last 5 years. Loved it!

I hope to replace gas stove with induction next year. Why? Gas harder to clean, and so much wasted heat. When I switched from conventional electric to induction, it was heaven, so I miss it. Induction will not work with aluminum pots/pans, so you do need to consider that. Conventional electric that glows red on the burners is something my son learned to never touch. 😊
Love the heat pump.

Note well if you have gas stove: seems the newer home no longer bring in the 220/240v circuit if you want to change to electric or induction in the kitchen. Will need to add a circuit.
