So Gas is cheaper or Electric cheaper?

Induction is easy, footprint are smaller, it heat up fast, efficient than gas. Induction may not be as reliable as gas because it have electronic component.

If you use lots of hot water e.g. hot shower, gas still cheaper. And Rinnai sell lots of gas heater in Singapore.

Come back 10 years you see gas still selling and people still using it to cook. Electric cost more to produce, because most untility company it still use natural gas to produce. Unless we switch to nuclear.

Gas produce good heat compare to induction, especially good for Chinese cooking.

Without subsidy, gas still cheaper. Singapore is a good example to check the utility price.

If there are no more discovery all energy will sure go up.

Good calculation. Electric charges 33cents is average price? our non subsidy rate is 50+ cents.

Use this one, direct from TNB

Tariff A - Domestic Tariff

For the next 300 kWh (301 - 600 kWh) per month 51.60 sen/kWh
For the next 300 kWh (601 - 900 kWh) per month 54.60 sen/kWh
And Onward 57.10 sen/kWh

Try fried rice for 5 people with induction cooker, even the ceramic hot plate will be tough without proper wok.

Understand what you mean. I put in the link to show how much the actual cost and subsidy cost we are paying. Gas is subsidized, but electric too.

And my colleague induction cooker repair twice, is a reputable brand.

I can buy 10 maybe 20 cast iron woks. Cooking just more fun with cast iron wok.

Induction have lots of electronic components. Heat is electronic components #1 enemy, and what do stove generate?

Get 10KVA UPS

Than again, for 4 burners, what is the KWh rating? 3000? or 4000? Wiring setup to handle that load?

Induction do have its +ve things. I used to use it frequently too. The portable unit. Fast boiling, and able to set timer. Make porridge for my baby, set timer and no need worry.

I think some brand the control/dial are more lasting. My colleague unit, the burner (induction coil) itself damage. Maybe he use it too long for soup boiling and the copper get damage.

The burner have breather hole. I use all the restaurant type, from "coke can" type to "mui fa lou" silver color type where fried kueh teow always use.

Yellow fire only happen when there is blockage or the burner are dirty, a full blast of fire will solve the problem.

That is the gas, any gas tank going to be empty soon will have some yellowish.
