Largely missing from the gas stove discourse is the fact that induction cooktops heat faster, offer far more precise temperature control than gas or electric and chefs love them. And the government will give you up to $840 toward buying one plus up to $500 to cover the costs of installation and up to $4000 if you need to upgrade your electrical box to accommodate one.

I'm totally psyched to upgrade my old gas stove.

I did not know of this program, found some more info here:

Sounds like it's state based and income capped and the $4000 is a tax credit. I think very few could get the full subsidy AND the tax credit.

@Namnezia @JoshuaHolland I didn't see a gov link. It's buried in the bigger bill.
