Induction vs Gas Hob

[Tess415]

Hi Hive, I'm upgrading a airbnb property and redoing the kitchen. We're debating between a gas hob and an induction. The British Heart Foundation advises you should stay 60cm away from an induction hob if you have a pacemaker. Has anyone experienced a problem with an induction hob and guests? I'm also conscious that gas hobs are a significant cause of in-home air pollution and can exacerbate asthma. 

So gas or induction? What's your opinion? 

Thanks!

@Tess415 what does your fire risk assessment say about gas hobs? I suspect any decent fire risk assessment will prefer an induction hob.

well it’s a small bungalow with 2 entrances, so secondary exit routes aren’t a problem. I think the wood burner would be more of an issue and the gas hob would be check every year

@Tess415 You are probably correct but what does the fire risk assessment actually say?
