Gas Stove Assessments

Posted on: 23 May 2023 By: K.LeBaron

With the uptick of interest / studies on the indoor air quality ramifications of cooking with natural gas, I'm curious whether this program (in either Part A or B) assessed whether homes use gas stoves. If so, were they ever included in the repair portion (aside from ventilation upgrades)?
