Professional Cooktop Installation in Adelaide
Electric and induction cooktops are hardwired directly to your home's electrical system and require a licensed electrician for safe installation. Induction cooktops in particular draw significant power, often between 5,000 and 7,400 watts, which means they need a dedicated circuit from your switchboard with appropriately rated cable and a circuit breaker sized to match. Our licensed electricians install all types of electric cooktops across Adelaide, from standard ceramic units to high-powered induction models, ensuring the circuit, cabling and connection are all correct.
We install cooktops from all major brands, including Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, Miele, Smeg, Electrolux and more. The installation involves checking your switchboard capacity, running a dedicated circuit if one is not already in place, connecting the cooktop to the hardwired cable beneath the benchtop, and testing all cooking zones. If you are switching from gas to electric or induction, we handle the electrical side of the conversion, including any switchboard upgrades needed to support the additional load.
Induction cooktops have become increasingly popular in Adelaide kitchens due to their speed, energy efficiency and precise temperature control. If you are considering the switch, it is worth knowing that induction cooktops require compatible cookware (magnetic-based pots and pans) and they draw more power than older ceramic models. We can advise on the circuit requirements during the quoting visit so you know exactly what is involved before you purchase.

FAQs
Cooktop Installation Questions
Common questions about cooktop installation in Adelaide.
What is the difference between ceramic and induction cooktops?
Ceramic cooktops use radiant heating elements beneath a glass surface. They heat slowly and the surface stays hot after cooking. Induction cooktops use magnetic fields to heat the cookware directly, which is faster, more energy-efficient and safer because the surface only gets warm from the pot's heat. Induction cooktops draw more power, so the circuit requirements are higher.
Can I switch from gas to an electric or induction cooktop?
Yes. We handle the electrical side of gas-to-electric conversions regularly across Adelaide. You will need a licensed gasfitter to disconnect and cap off the gas supply, and we install the dedicated electrical circuit and connect the new cooktop. If your switchboard needs upgrading to handle the additional load, we take care of that as part of the job.
Does an induction cooktop need a special circuit?
Yes. Induction cooktops typically draw between 5,000 and 7,400 watts, which requires a dedicated circuit with 6mm cable and a 32-amp circuit breaker (exact specifications depend on the model). This is a heavier circuit than most other kitchen appliances. We check the manufacturer's requirements and install the correct circuit for your specific cooktop.
How long does a cooktop installation take?
If a suitable dedicated circuit is already in place, the connection typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. If we need to run a new circuit from the switchboard, the job may take 2 to 4 hours depending on the distance and how accessible the cable route is. We confirm the expected timeframe when we provide the quote.
Can you install a cooktop and oven on the same visit?
Yes. If you are installing both a new cooktop and a new oven, we can connect them both in the same visit. Each appliance needs its own dedicated circuit, so we install and test both circuits. Combining the installations saves time and means your kitchen is fully operational sooner.
Do you provide free quotes for cooktop installation?
Yes. We visit your home, check the existing wiring and switchboard capacity, confirm the circuit requirements for your specific cooktop model, and provide a clear written quote. The quote is free, detailed and comes with no obligation.
