Cost of Gas Vs Electric
Commercial Kitchen Equipment Maintenance White Paper

Executive Summary
A common perception has existed in which operators feel that gas commercial equipment costs more to maintain and repair than electric equipment. This is an outdated premise that is no longer valid due to a variety of technical changes in the manufacturing of equipment. Pricing of parts, technical labor, equipment engineering, and a real-world look at gas equipment maintenance requirements confirm this premise.
As President of the kitchen equipment industry’s dealer trade association, I’ve presented countless speeches on this topic and have been a regular content contributor and interview subject for every major foodservice publication on a regular basis.
