Oven and Cooktop Installation FAQs
Can I install an oven or cooktop myself?
No. Hard wired ovens and cooktops must be connected by a licensed electrician. This protects
your safety, helps avoid damage to the appliance and keeps your home closer to current
standards and insurance expectations.
Do I need a new circuit for an induction cooktop?
Many induction cooktops have a higher current draw than older units. Your electrician will
check the rating plate and your switchboard before deciding whether a new circuit or board
upgrade is required.
Will the electrician adjust my cabinets or benchtop?
Electricians usually focus on wiring and power. Cabinet changes and benchtop cut outs are
often handled by a cabinet maker, builder or kitchen installer. You can always ask the
electrician what they include when you request a quote.
What information should I include in my job post?
Share the make and model of the appliance, whether it is new or second hand, photos of the
switchboard and the space where it will go, and any other planned kitchen changes that may
affect cabling routes or power points.
