Factores que inciden en el cambio de las cocinas de gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) a las cocinas de inducción, en el Cantón Cuenca

Abstract

In the present study the factors that influence the selection of a type of stove are determined, namely: induction or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG); also finding their respective weights. For this, the Hierarchical Analytical Process Method was used, which also served to establish the order of priority of the stoves options in light of the aforementioned criteria. The results suggest that, unlike what is commonly thought, it is not the Operational Cost of the equipment that most influences the decision of one stove or another, but the Level of Security that the people perceive. The final results favor the selection of induction stove, which would establish a guideline for the current Ecuadorian energy policy
