Short answer
Induction ranges are electric and run on 240V like other electric ranges — the amperage just varies by model. Dual-fuel units have an electric oven that still needs a proper 240V circuit. In both cases, wire to the specific model's nameplate and instructions, not a generic assumption.
Induction and dual-fuel ranges sound exotic, but their wiring follows the same fundamentals — with a few model-specific wrinkles worth knowing.
Induction is still electric
An induction range cooks differently (magnetic fields instead of glowing elements), but electrically it's a 240-volt appliance like any electric range. What varies is the amperage — some induction models draw more than the range they replace, so the circuit has to match the new unit's nameplate.
Dual-fuel ranges
A dual-fuel range pairs a gas cooktop with an electric oven. The electric side still needs a correctly sized 240V circuit; the gas side is handled by the appropriate trade. Don't assume the electric requirement is small just because it's “just the oven.”
The myth to ignore
“Built-in means hardwired” isn't a rule — some of these accept a cord and receptacle, others are hardwired, per the instructions. See hardwired vs plug-in for the full picture, and specialty range wiring for how these installs are handled.
Plan around placement
Slide-in and drop-in induction units need the outlet positioned to clear the appliance body, so these jobs benefit from a little planning — especially during a renovation, where it ties into remodel rewiring.
When to call a licensed electrician
Wiring an induction or dual-fuel unit to its specific requirements — and placing the outlet correctly — is a licensed electrician's job. Have the model's instructions handy.
