Dual Fuel RangesWhat is a Dual-Fuel Range?
A dual-fuel range uses two fuel sources, electricity and gas, to power the appliance. The cooktop runs on gas while the oven uses electricity. Homeowners often choose this option if they already have gas connections but want increased flexibility in how they cook their food.
Finding the best dual fuel range to upgrade your current appliance could help you choose a cooktop that is responsive and easy to use while pairing it with an oven that has countless built-in features. You can even find smart ranges that come in dual-fuel models.
Consider a dual-fuel range if you don’t want to bake with a gas oven but also don’t want to cook over an electric stove. You can enjoy two different heat sources in the same appliance.

The Benefits of a Dual-Fuel Range
There are several benefits of buying one of the best dual fuel range products on the market. Many people love the choice they made to choose both a gas and electric cooking system. Here are a few reasons why dual-fuel models are increasing in popularity.
- Enjoy precision cooking with gas. Gas cooktops heat up within seconds and you can quickly adjust the flame. Conversely, electric cooktops can be slower and less reliable.
- Improve your baking with an electric oven. While gas is often better for stovetops, electricity is usually preferred for ovens. Some of the best electric stoves stay within 10 degrees of your desired temperature.
- Use an oven you are more familiar with. Many people already cook with electric ovens, so you won’t have a learning curve in switching to a gas-powered model.
- Enjoy bonus features and apps. Electric connections can help you sync your range with virtual assistants through your Wi-Fi. Your electric-powered oven also might come with more modes, features, and cooking tutorials to make meal preparation fun.
There are also practical reasons for choosing a dual-fuel range. Some homeowners already have gas connections in their homes that they want to use. They don’t want to stop using gas entirely just because they want an electric-powered oven.

FAQ
Why would you want a dual-fuel range?
A duel-fuel range is an ideal appliance for homeowners who love cooking with gas (or already have gas connections) but also want the benefits of electric systems. Modern ovens come with multiple cooking modes and electric-powered features like Wi-Fi connectivity. A dual-fuel range provides the best of both worlds with multiple power sources.
Do I need a dual-fuel stove?
If you already have a gas connection, you may benefit from using a dual-fuel stove. More people are investing in duel-fuel ranges because they want electric elements in their appliances – even in their cooktops. Consider what benefits you get from an electrical connection to your stove, including smart connectivity and digital clocks. This will help you decide whether the dual-fuel design is right for you.
Is dual-fuel worth the extra cost?
Some people believe the dual-fuel technology to power their ranges is worth the cost. They can enjoy extra features and tools that they otherwise couldn’t enjoy with just a gas-powered product. However, other homeowners don’t particularly want these features and prefer simple designs. Decide whether you want your range to be powered by electricity, gas, or both and the viability of using each option in your kitchen.
