Cooktop Installation In Melbourne

About Our Cooktop Installation

Most cooktop installations involve safely disconnecting the existing appliance, checking the electrical supply, fitting the new customer-supplied cooktop, connecting it correctly, and testing it before we leave.

We install common domestic electric and induction cooktops, depending on the existing wiring, circuit capacity, appliance rating, benchtop opening and manufacturer requirements.

We generally do not supply appliances, but we can install suitable customer-supplied cooktops and advise if the electrical side of the installation needs extra work.

Cooktops We Install

Important Things To Check

Does The New Cooktop Fit?

The new cooktop needs to suit the existing benchtop cut-out, cupboard space and mounting arrangement. If the new appliance is a different size, benchtop or cabinetry changes may be required by others.

Is The Existing Circuit Suitable?

Some replacement cooktops can use the existing supply, but larger or higher-rated induction cooktops may require wiring changes, circuit upgrades or switchboard work.

Are You Replacing Gas?

If your existing cooktop is gas, a licensed plumber will need to safely disconnect and cap the gas supply before the electric or induction cooktop is installed.

Do You Have The Manual?

The manufacturer’s installation manual helps confirm clearances, ventilation requirements, fixing requirements, electrical rating and connection details for the specific cooktop model.

Other Kitchen Appliance Installation

If you are upgrading your kitchen, we can also help with oven installation and rangehood installation. These pages are kept separate so the information matches the appliance you need installed.

For most kitchen appliance jobs, customers supply the appliance and we complete the electrical installation, connection, testing and safety checks where suitable.

Quick FAQs

Do You Supply Cooktops?

No, we generally do not supply appliances. We install suitable customer-supplied cooktops and complete the electrical connection and testing where required.

Can You Replace My Existing Cooktop?

Yes, if the new cooktop is suitable for the existing space, power supply and installation setup.

Can You Disconnect My Old Gas Cooktop?

Gas disconnection must be completed by a licensed plumber. We can help coordinate this where required.

Do I Need A Dedicated Circuit?

It depends on the cooktop rating and the existing electrical setup. Many induction cooktops need suitable circuit capacity, and we can advise if upgrades are required.

Do I Need An Electrician To Install A Cooktop?

If the cooktop needs electrical connection, disconnection, hardwiring, wiring changes or safe testing, a licensed electrician should complete that part of the work.

Need A Cooktop Installed?
