Gas Kettle Vs Electric Kettle | Which Uses Less Energy?

- In this video, we test out how much energy is used by both, a gas tea kettle and an electric tea kettle. With over 3 billion cups of tea being consumed each day, its important to use the most energy efficient option.

Underrated video! Awesome work!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. It takes a lot to make these videos and your positive feedback is encouraging.
What about the cost. In the UK Gas is around the 1/3 of the price of electricity so even if Gas is a little less efficient it still cheaper than electric. Note also electric kettles in our house last less than 2 years and are thrown away. The stove kettle by comparison is 25 years old !
Typically the impact of creating an item isn’t anywhere as big as the impact associated with its us. This is a general statement, but I’m this case I’d think it’s true. I do plan on creating an updated version of this video next year. I’ll be sure to include these impacts and cost in that update!
Chris Jones - this is exactly the comment I was going to make, in UK gas is currently less than 1/3 the price of an equivalent unit of electricity. Carbon footprint is one thing, but at the moment much bigger concern is cutting costs.
Gas is actually quite alot less efficient when it comes to heat Transfer than electric kettles, it is near 100% for the electric kettle, but in the 40s for gas. Also consider the knock on effects of that wasted energy from the gas kettle, that is heating up your room forcing your AC to work harder in summer.
I’m here for Chris Jones comment! The cost in the UK per KWH is 30p and gas is 8p before tax, cheaper to boil water and transfer it to my insulated kettle (which i do) then occasionally re-heat through out the day! My Vektra kettle wasn’t cheap but in two years it has paid for itself but always looking for the next hack to save a few more quid! Great video btw!
@@linuxman7777how much fossil fuel was used to produce the electricity though? Its kind of misleading.
Really helpful..... Thanks!!
Great info and video👌🏻🍵
Thank you! I’m working on a follow up with more detail about the entire tea process. It should be live in April!
At 80 I find heat the most difficult to deal with. There are adverts for what the manufacture claim their cooler to be super efficient, cheap, cooling etc. I'd be very interested to see an examination that pinpoints the cheapest & most effective product. If you can, thanks.
I presumed my gas kettle used less energy. I measure out one cup of water & have one cup for one tea one of coffee a day. Another factor is the energy supplier? Mine is 'Ecotricity' producing gas from grass & renewable or nuclear energy for electricity. I use a microwave to heat up my food that I cook first on gas. A large saucepan to make a lentil & vegetable stew. I don't know if I will change my kettle.
The global average efficiencies of electricity production are 34% for coal, 40% for natural gas and 37% for oil.
It is well known that producing electricy via steam (gaz coal petrol nuclear) is very inificient. You have to multiply by around 2 the electric consumption to get the required carbon energy required to produce this electricity. This is reflected in the price (in Belgium) : electricty costs twice as much as natural gaz
Yes, it’s definitely an inefficient process! I was looking mainly at emission factors associated with use and combustion, but could account for the upstream emissions as well! That is something I plan on doing in an updated version of the video sometime next year 😊
You forget about heat transfer effecince at the stove or kettle level though.
A parabolic solar cooker is the cleanest and most efficient way to boil water, just saying.
You did not measure the cost.
That would have been interesting to see. I’ll have to include that in an update!

What if your electric power is generated from natural gas? I guess it‘s more efficient to directly boil your water on the gas stove.
It’s possible. But power plants likely have higher efficiencies and pollutant controls as well.
@@GoGreenPost I doubt it can ever be more efficient to first create electric power, transport it and use it to create heat. There's a lot of loss in generating electric energy.
For sure and in transmitting it. But the electric kettle is using less energy to begin with, plus all the inefficiencies in heating water via gas fire.
@@GoGreenPost An electric kettle does not help, if the electricity has been produced by heating water via gas fire.
Well, an electric kettle does use less energy than a gas kettle to begin with. If you’d like I could try to post the calculations and data behind it all in the article for this video.

First of all, please label your graphics. That said, kWh of electricity vs. what, cubic feet of gas? Are you converting gas to kWh, what formula are you using? Are you comparing cost? Otherwise this isn't helpful.
