48 Inch RangesTypes of Ranges, Explained
Ranges come in three basic categories–electric ranges, gas ranges, and induction ranges–with some models carrying one or two special designations–dual fuel and pro style.
Let’s examine the three basic categories first:
- Electric ranges are powered by electricity and feature flat cooktops with electric heating elements.
- Gas ranges are powered by natural gas or propane and feature a cooktop with gas burners.
- Induction ranges utilize an electromagnetic field below the glass cooktop to transfer heat directly to your pot or pan.
Ranges also come in dual fuel and pro style models. Let’s take a closer look at what that means:
- Dual fuel ranges utilize two fuel sources, typically gas and electric. You get the best of both worlds with this combo.
- Pro style ranges are designed to bring the experience of a commercial-grade range found in a professional kitchen to your home.
Dual fuel ranges and pro style ranges are not mutually exclusive. Bekins offers models, like the Fisher & Paykel Series 9 48” Pro Style Dual Fuel Range, that marry dual fuel with the professional quality of pro style.
Reasons to Upgrade to a Luxury 48 Inch Range
Considering their price tag, a luxury range is a serious investment, but it can be a game changer in your kitchen. There are many reasons to upgrade to a luxury 48 inch range, including:
✓ More cooking space: The added 18 inches you gain when upgrading from standard to luxury opens up a world of culinary possibilities. A luxury range provides more cooktop space, making room for extra burners or a griddle, like the Viking Professional 5 Series 48” Pro Style Gas Range has.
✓ Upgrades: Luxury ranges come with high-end features and advanced technologies. Common upgrades include convection ovens, double ovens, advanced temperature controls, and more.

✓ Longevity: Because of the craftsmanship and quality materials, luxury ranges are built to last for 20 years. Buying a luxury range is making a long-term investment in your home.

Why Trust Bekins Appliances and Electronics?
Bekins is a local, family-owned, internationally acclaimed appliance and electronics company in West Michigan. It started as a service company in 1975 when Harvey and Barbara Bekins started their own appliance repair business out of their home in Grand Haven. We still view ourselves as a service company today, but now we also sell, install and service both appliances and electronics across West Michigan.
Scott started in the business as an 8-year-old holding the flashlight for his father. Scott rolled in the first appliances when Harvey and Barb opened our Grand Haven showroom in 1982. After Scott bought the company from his parents, Bekins started offering custom electronic services and then expanded with another state-of-the-art, interactive showroom in Grand Rapids.
In all, Bekins has earned more than 21 national and international honors. That does not include their Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics or their Grand Haven Tribune People's Choice Award for Best Appliances (17 years and counting!).
