We switched from gas to induction when redoing our kitchen. We wanted to move the oven and moving the existing gas lines cost as much as switching to induction

  Concrete Apartments come with fire safety barriers which are ruinously expensive to breach, if even legal. The rewiring also triggered a review of the in-building current distribution burdens to our apt fuzebox, the costs only ratcheted upward. For a single 3-wire copper run, which could have been put in during first fix before plasterboard, for under $1k. YMMV. Every home has a different cost and risk burden for this kind of work. Mine just didn't work out for Induction. I was really disappointed. If we afford a major re-fitout eg to get a walk-in pantry I'll reconsider. Really? Induction suitable circuit to kitchen should be pre-fitted in the apt design. Same as car-parking charging points: they're becoming mandatory, and I think so should the rollover in cooking power. Building has a 50+ year life, Gas is being deprecated for home use rapidly, its an AGW nightmare even being responsive for cooking and "analogue" right temp when you can get it to work.
