Electric Cooktop Installation

Electric cooktops are favoured for modern homes thanks to their affordability and easy-to-use nature. But beyond the basics, electric models offer great consistent temperatures, and their flat, smooth surfaces are incredibly easy to clean.

Modern electric cooktops are made from ceramic and glass with electric coils that distribute radiant heat to your pots and pans. Prices vary from around $200 for the purchase of budget options right through to $4000 for designer models.

Once you’ve settled on a model, it’s incredibly important that the experts complete the installation. Cooktops and ovens are required by law to be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician. Most models are wired to connect directly to the home’s circuitry as they need a 240-volt connection, which is higher than the voltage of standard powerpoints.

For accurate installation, go with Metropolitan Electrical Contractors. Our local electricians have seen it all, from 50-year-old stoves to the latest in ceramic cooktop technology. If you’re looking to replace an existing cooktop with something more modern, we can help smooth the process with expert installation and fit it within your benchtop setup.

Gas Cooktop Installation

Natural gas is an efficient fuel that’s cheaper than electricity and produces up to 48% less carbon emissions, making it a more sustainable option. And so, gas cooktops make great choices should your home be equipped with a natural gas connection.

An eye-catching new gas cooktop with stainless steel surrounds can cost more upfront than the electric alternatives, but the benefits are well worth it.

A qualified gas fitter must do all gas line work within the home. This includes a gas oven and cooktop. Our technicians can detect faults, test for leaks, safely extend a gas line and install new appliances while removing the old gas cooktop from the premises.

There are also restrictions on positioning and minimal clearance requirements between gas burners and surrounds. By relying on professional cooktop installers, you take the guesswork out of gas cooktop installation and receive the necessary Australian Government compliance certificates.

Metropolitan Electrical Contractors has tradespeople available 24/7 with no additional fees after hours. So you never have to worry about a faulty appliance or gas leak. We can often be at your door within the hour*.

Induction Cooktop Installation

The induction cooktop offers the latest in home cooking appliances and technology. These innovative appliances rely on electricity and require an expert for installation. However, they use a completely different process than standard convection cooktops.

Induction cookers feature copper coils beneath the glass and ceramic top. These coils create a magnetic current that transfers the heat directly into the pot or pan. As a result, your cooktop remains surprisingly cool to the touch and 85-90% of the heating energy is transferred to the pot.

Induction is also the most efficient forming of cooking, heating foods and liquids much faster than standard electric and gas cooktops. These options cost more upfront, but the cooking and safety benefits are well worth the money.

FAQs – What You Need to Know About Cooktop Installation

Metropolitan Electrical Contractors has all the answers to your cooktop installation questions right here.

Do I need an electrician to install a cooktop?

Yes. It’s a requirement under Australian law that you seek a licensed professional when installing a new appliance like an oven or cooktop. It doesn’t matter if the unit is electric or gas.

Both must be installed by the appropriate expert, who will then provide a certificate of compliance and log the installation with the correct governing body.

Are induction cooktops worth it?

Induction cooktops cook fast and efficiently and use less electricity than standard electric cooktops. For these reasons, they’re favoured by chefs. Even Gordon Ramsey has induction cookers in his home.

The only downside is that non-stick aluminium pans don’t work with these cooktops. Instead, you will need to use cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pots and pans.

Which is cheaper to run – gas or induction?

Induction technology is so fast and efficient that these impressive cooktops can have lower running costs than you’ll find with a gas cooktop. However, the savings might not be grand enough for you to consider upgrading your existing cooktop unless you are already in the market for a new appliance.
