Description
What Is an Electric Range?
An electric range is a freestanding or slide-in kitchen appliance that combines an electric cooktop and an electric oven in one unit. The cooktop uses radiant heating elements beneath a smooth glass surface or exposed-coil elements. The oven uses hidden electric elements to produce dry, even heat for baking and roasting. Unlike gas ranges, electric models do not require a gas line.
Why Choose an Electric Range?
- Even oven heat: Electric ovens distribute heat more evenly than gas ovens. This makes them excellent for baking cookies, cakes, and pastries with consistent results.
- Easy to clean: Smooth glass cooktops wipe clean with a damp cloth. No grates, no burner caps, no grease traps.
- Simple installation: No gas line, no leak test, no plumber needed. Just connect to your kitchen’s electrical outlet and start cooking.
- Air fryer and convection options: Many new electric ranges feature convection fans and built-in air-frying modes for versatile cooking.
- Safe for families: No open flame means lower fire risk. Indicator lights show when the surface is still hot.
Glass Top vs. Coil Burner
A glass-top (smooth-top) electric range has a flat ceramic surface with radiant elements beneath. It looks modern, cleans easily, and works well with flat-bottomed cookware. A coil burner electric range uses exposed metal coils that heat up when you turn the dial. Coil models cost less upfront but are harder to clean. Glass top models are the most popular choice for Citrus Heights kitchen upgrades.
How to Choose the Right Electric Range
Size
Electric ranges come in 20-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, and 36-inch widths. The 30-inch model fits most standard kitchens. Measure your space before ordering.
Single vs. Double Oven
A single oven electric range gives you one large cavity for all your cooking. A double oven model splits the space into two separate ovens so you can bake at one temperature and roast at another. Double ovens are ideal for holiday meals and families who cook multiple dishes at once.
Front Controls vs. Rear Controls
Slide-in electric ranges have controls on the front panel for a clean, built-in look. Freestanding models have rear-mounted controls with a backguard. Front controls are easier to reach but keep them away from small children.
Electrical Requirements
Electric ranges need a dedicated 240V, 40-amp or 50-amp circuit. Most kitchens built after the 1970s already have this outlet behind the range location. If your home does not have one, an electrician can add it. Our team verifies your outlet and plug type during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many amps does an electric range use?
Most electric ranges draw 40 to 50 amps on a dedicated 240V circuit. Check your breaker panel and outlet type before ordering.
What is the best glass top electric range?
GE, Samsung, and Frigidaire consistently rank highest for glass top ranges. Visit our showroom to compare models and finishes in person.
Can I replace an existing gas range with an electric model?
Switching fuel types is a common upgrade. The process requires safely capping your existing gas line and having an electrician install a dedicated 240V outlet. Our team can guide you through the transition and help you select the right model from our kitchen appliance inventory.
How do you clean a glass top electric range?
Wait for the surface to cool. Wipe with a damp cloth and a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the glass.
Do electric ranges cook slower than gas models?
While electric cooktops take slightly longer to reach temperature than an open flame, the electric oven cavity heats more evenly and consistently. For everyday cooking and baking, the performance difference is minimal. Serious home chefs may prefer browsing our Gas Ranges.
