Compliant Cooktop Installs
Cooktop installation often involves more than just swapping over an appliance. Many modern induction cooktops require suitable circuit capacity, correct protection, and compliant isolation depending on the existing setup.
Our electricians check the wiring, switchboard capacity, manufacturer requirements, and installation location so the cooktop can be connected safely and correctly.
We install customer-supplied cooktops and can help confirm whether the unit is suitable before the installation goes ahead.
Changing From Gas To Induction?
If you are replacing a gas cooktop with an induction or electric cooktop, the job may require both electrical work and gas disconnection.
We can arrange for a licensed plumber to safely cap off the existing gas supply and provide certification where required, while our team handles the electrical side of the installation.
This can include checking whether a new dedicated circuit is required, installing local isolation where needed, and confirming the cooktop can be safely connected to your existing switchboard.
The Installation Process
1. Check the existing setup
We inspect the wiring, connection point, switchboard capacity, and cooktop location.
2. Confirm the cooktop requirements
We check the appliance specifications and confirm what is needed for a compliant installation.
3. Complete the electrical work
This may include connection to an existing suitable circuit, a new dedicated circuit, local isolation, or switchboard works if required.
4. Test and commission
Once installed, we test the circuit and confirm the cooktop is ready for safe use.
