FAQ

We are committed to providing a customer experience we can be proud of. For early customers who ordered within our first year, we offer a “retrieve and replace” warranty service. Should any issue arise, we will organize a pickup of your cooktop and replace it with a brand new one. The old unit will be returned to us for analysis to understand the root cause. This service is covered under a manufacturer's 3-year warranty. Additionally, if you are unsatisfied with your order, we accept returns. See our terms and conditions for more information.

New orders begin shipping in March 2025. Expected ship timing is based on when your order is placed, this information is reflected at checkout and in your order confirmation.

At launch, we're shipping exclusively within the U.S. In order to bring a stove to market we adhere to rigorous safety and product codes in the United States. We're eager to expand to more areas soon.

Ideal cutout measurements below for the 30” Impulse Cooktop:

Width (X): 28 1/2” - 29 1/2”; Depth (Y): 19 5/16” - 19 5/8”

While we are focusing on the 30" cooktop for our first product, we look forward to expanding our offerings in the future to include additional sizes and form factors. We are actively exploring solutions to accommodate other cutout sizes including one for 36” stoves.

The Impulse Cooktop is designed to be compatible with 120V or 240V. Panel does not need to be upgraded. 15A breaker minimum for both 120V and 240V use cases.

The Impulse Cooktop is designed to install with minimal needs for an electrician. The Cooktop plugs directly in 120V outlets. If you have an existing electric cooktop (induction or radiant), then the Impulse Cooktop is compatible with what you already have, with no need to upgrade. For a 240 V connection, the installation is comparable to a typical electric or induction cooktop.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) – this chemistry is validated in both electric vehicles and the existing home battery storage industry.  LFP batteries have significantly improved safety and longevity characteristics compared to other Lithium battery types, commonly referred to as “Lithium-ion” batteries.

We’re designing and manufacturing the stovetop, battery pack, and key internal components to comply with all relevant UL standards and other applicable compliance requirements.

If you need to make changes to your order or are unhappy with your purchase, we accept returns and offer refunds. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more information. Reach out to orders@impulselabs.com for any requests.

The Impulse Cooktop is eligible for the 30% battery tax credit, reducing the total price of $5,999 to approximately $4,200* after refund. Eligibility for additional federal and state subsidies dependent on household income and location. This includes $840 from The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate program through the IRA rebate and up to a $500 rebate for installation costs in converting from gas.

Customers are responsible for applying for credits. Many regions have additional state, regional, and utility-level incentives for induction stoves and energy storage systems. In most cases, these incentives stack with federal incentives and are typically more widely accessible. Make sure to read program details to confirm your eligibility.

During an outage, the 3 kWh battery can power the stove for up to three meals on a full charge. Counterintuitively, many gas stoves don’t work during outages due to safety features that require electricity to enable the gas valves and light the ignition.

In short, it’s the most powerful stove on the market. With the integrated battery that can slowly charge up when you're not using it, and then quickly release that energy when you turn up a burner - there’s an incredible equivalent of 72,000 BTU/h of heating power, or 10 kW. (Compare that to 18,000 BTU/h for the best gas stoves currently on the market, or the equivalent of 28,500 BTU/h for some of the best induction stoves.)

If a magnet sticks to your pot or pan, then it’ll work with an induction stove. Induction technology works through electromagnetic fields - magnetic stainless steel, cast iron, enameled iron, or nickel base are all compatible with induction.

Temperature control means your stove works more like an oven – you can set an exact temperature and the stove will automatically deliver the right amount of power to maintain it. Unlike other products, we have a proprietary solution to this very difficult problem that works across pan types and offers an unparalleled cooking experience. If you don’t know what temperature to use, that’s totally ok - the Cooktop’s user interface also includes familiar cues like low, medium, and high.

The Impulse Cooktop connects to Wi-Fi for software updates. These over-the-air (OTA) updates ensure your cooktop always has the latest features and improvements. Internet connectivity is required during setup, and we’ll notify you if the connection is lost, but you’ll always be able to cook even if the Wi-Fi is disconnected.

We heard people like tactile controls. The knobs on the Impulse Cooktop are magnetic, removable, and have no electronics so you can clean the (flat) glass behind them if there’s a spill - unreliable, finicky touch screen controls are now a thing of the past.

We’re packing a lot of capability into our cooktop while making sure it remains familiar and easy to use. The display lets us communicate new capabilities like temperature control very clearly, and enables future possibilities for a helpful user experience. Additionally, we realize knowing if surfaces are hot isn’t obvious with induction – we added lights to each burner to indicate this explicitly and to provide direct feedback similar to the flame of a gas stove.

The Impulse Cooktop is $5,999, not including taxes and shipping costs. This price does not take into account substantial expected savings with subsidies and tax credits.*

]Preorders and deposits are closed. For those that made an early order through deposits, we will collect the remaining balance for your order automatically prior to confirmed ship date.
