Seems like a good idea judging by the less than seller reputation of PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company) with regards to maintenance.
Personally I like gas, but induction has some serious advantages such as fast heat times, lack of waste heat filling up the kitchen and very low PM emissions. Plus you don't need a ridiculously large exhaust fan. FWIW Induction plates have been a staple in restaurant kitchens for years. Great Chefs will have no problem getting adjusted to them in their homes.
