Record the number and size of zones normally used, oven needs, high-heat cooking and any accessibility controls that matter.
Plan the appliance, electrical work and kitchen fit together
Moving from gas cooking is more than choosing a cooktop. Check the household's cooking needs, cookware, ventilation, electrical capacity, bench opening and gas decommissioning before accepting a quote.
Start with the kitchen
Confirm what must fit and how it will be used
Measure the appliance opening, bench depth, clearances and cabinet ventilation. A nominal cooktop width does not prove the cut-out will fit.
Ask a licensed electrician to assess the circuit, switchboard, available supply and whether demand control or other enabling work is needed.
Before choosing
Separate product features from installation requirements
Induction cooktop
Induction heats compatible cookware through a magnetic field. Compare zone layout, controls, low-power stability, power sharing, surface protection and service support.
- Test existing pans with a magnet
- Check the maximum connected load
- Confirm child lock and control accessibility
- Ask how power sharing affects simultaneous zones
Oven and ventilation
Confirm oven capacity, cooking modes, cleaning method, circuit requirements and the ventilation needed for heat, steam, grease and moisture.
- Include any cabinet modification
- Retain effective kitchen exhaust
- Confirm plug-in or hard-wired connection
- Include safe gas isolation and removal
