The Property Brothers Name the Kitchen Appliance You Should Remove From Your Home

The Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathon Scott, have spent decades building and remodeling homes. Lately, they have been trying to make more eco-friendly decisions while they work. That is why they have been vocal about one kitchen appliance that they don't believe anyone needs in their home-a gas stove.

The brothers prefer induction ranges over gas. Some fans assumed this was because they wanted to keep the homes looking and feeling modern, but the decision is also about safety in the kitchen.

"We de-carbonized by getting rid of the old gas range that we had and put in this beautiful induction range," Drew explained during a tour of his eco home transformation. "I love this because it cooks a pot of water in half the time that it did with the gas range."

Drew went on to explain that an induction range was also safer with kids in the house. "Even if this is heated up, I'm not going to burn my hand when I put my hand on here because you need the pot. Induction needs the metal to actually bring the heat." He also spoke about the air quality in his home, admitting that it "is already so much better because we're not running a gas range."

Jonathan also spoke about the topic withBloomberg. "Decarbonizing the home is critical because of the human health element," he said. "40% of our energy-related greenhouse gases come from buildings. The future of the home, in my mind, it's much cleaner and much safer."

Although Jonathan admitted that induction ranges typically cost more money than traditional gas ranges, he still believes they're worth the price in the long run. "It's been so expensive," he said. "But now the price points have come down a lot. The government has rebates and tax incentives that offset cost. In some situations, it actually makes it cheaper than going back to a gas option."

Drew is a real estate expert and his twin brother, Jonathan, is a licensed contractor. Together, the pair helped families find houses and transform them into their dream homes on Property Brothers. The original series ran from 2011-2019, but there are multiple spinoffs, including Property Brothers: Under Pressure, which is now airing on HGTV on Sundays.
