Ask almost any chef, and they'll tell you that induction cooktops are the most advanced and efficient way to cook. Unlike traditional gas or electric cooktops, which transfer heat from a burner to the cookware, induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly, without a flame or heating element. This results in faster cooking times, more precise temperature control, and easier cleanup. But until recently, this technology has come at a trade-off, with many induction cooktops requiring electrical rewiring in older homes to ensure the circuit can meet the power demand.
At Haier, we believe that everyone deserves to experience the joys of induction cooking. That's why we're proud to offer low-current induction cooktops that offer similar cooking efficiency to their traditional counterparts while supporting efficient and cost-effective installations.
What makes this alternative so effective is a breakthrough power management software that reduces the amount of electricity needed to run an induction cooktop. This means that in most instances, low-current induction cooktops can run on existing home wiring - a much more affordable and accessible choice for homeowners, renovators and landlords alike, given that the rewiring process can be an expensive cost on top of the cost of the cooktop and installation. Where traditional induction cooktops typically need higher power and a necessary 32-amp circuit or three-phase upgrade, the low-current power management software can often use the existing circuit by strategically directing energy to different parts of the cooktop.
In a world where energy efficiency is becoming front of mind when people are choosing a new appliance, the growing trend towards induction cooking is no surprise. Induction cooking offers immediate and responsive temperature control while also, according to rating system Energy Star, is reported to be 5-10% more energy efficient than conventional electric cooktops and three times more efficient than gas.
If you're looking for an advanced and efficient way to cook with the potential to avoid wiring upgrades, a low-current induction cooktop from Haier is the most inspired choice for your family.
