Significance The potential for replacing household gas appliances with electric ones to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health is often cited as a motivating factor for residential electrification policies, but ex post evaluations of such efforts do not yet exist. Here, we assess the climate and health impacts of Ecuador’s nationwide induction stove promotion program. Between 2015 and 2021, one-tenth of all Ecuadorian households acquired an induction stove. We find evidence that both greenhouse gas emissions and hospitalization rates likely fell over the first 6 y of the program in lockstep with increased induction stove adoption and use.
