Why use a licensed tradie for your cooktop?
Cooktops run hot and many draw significant power or use gas. Induction and electric units often need dedicated circuits and correct cabling. Gas cooktops need compliant gas pipework, shut off valves, ventilation and clearances to overhead surfaces.
DIY or unlicensed installations can lead to gas leaks, tripping power, damaged appliances and can void warranty or insurance.
- Safe, compliant electrical and gas connections
- Dedicated circuits and isolation switches where required
- Correct clearances to rangehoods, overhead cupboards and splashbacks
- Smooth changeovers from gas to electric or induction
- Old cooktop safely disconnected and removed if requested
Gas, Electric and Induction Cooktop Installation
Licensed Melbourne electricians and gas fitters.
We install and replace gas, electric and induction cooktops in homes and small businesses.
Tell us a few details about your new cooktop, the existing setup and whether there is a unit to remove so we can give you a clear, fixed price.
We check your power supply, gas line, benchtop cut out and clearances, then complete the installation in line with Australian standards and the manufacturer instructions. Once finished we test all burners or zones so you can start cooking straight away.

Deegan did an outstanding job disconnecting our old heater. He was not only incredibly efficient but also very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. His expertise was evident from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommend Deegan for anyone in need of exceptional service!

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated.
I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Tim and Rami replaced our old hot water system with Emerald All-In-One Heat Pump Heater on 16/9/2024. They're very professional and polite. Did great job installing, took away old heater and cleaned all rubbish away. Gave me detailed information about operation of the system. All was done quickly with smiles and everything is working well.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to install an electric or induction cooktop?
- Yes. Electric and induction cooktops are high load appliances that must be wired on suitable circuits. A licensed electrician is required to install or modify the circuit and make sure the wiring and breaker are correctly sized.
Can you install an oven I have already bought?
- Yes. If the cooktop meets Australian standards we can install it. We will check the gas type, rating and required clearances, then connect, test and commission it in line with regulations.
What if my new cooktop is a different size to the old one?
-
We measure the existing cut out and the new unit when we arrive. Small differences can often be managed with minor trimming or infill pieces. If the difference is large we will explain what is needed from a cabinetmaker or if a different size unit is a better option.
Can you convert my kitchen from gas cooktop to induction?
- Yes. In many homes we can safely disconnect and cap the gas, then run a new circuit from the switchboard to the cooktop location and install the induction unit. We will assess your switchboard and supply first to confirm capacity.
What happens during a cooktop installation?
- We isolate power and gas, remove the existing cooktop if required, check the opening and surrounding surfaces, then install the new unit and connect gas or power. We seal where needed, test all burners or zones and clean up the work area before we leave.
