Go Pilot-Light Free with Your New Range

When you buy your next gas stove, make sure you choose one that doesn't use a pilot light. You'll save energy, reduce indoor air pollution, and a significant amount of cash in the long-run. New gas models avoid the constant pilot light by using a pilotless ignition. This also keeps the kitchen cooler during warmer seasons.

So, if you're looking for another reason to send your gold-colored gas stove from the 1970s to the appliances recycler, consider the following: As the price of natural gas has risen by more than 50 percent over the past few years, you're now spending about $50 or more annually just to keep the stove's pilot lights burning.
