Induction cooktop installation
in South Melbourne.

Cottage kitchens on Emerald Hill are often small, with a gas cooktop on a wall shared with the neighbour and not much room to rearrange. An induction cooktop needs its own dedicated circuit, which means a cable from the board to the kitchen. In a single-storey cottage that can travel through the roof space, and in a terrace we plan the route to avoid cutting into period plaster. First we check that the board has a free slot and enough capacity. If not, we talk through a board upgrade before anything else. Once the circuit is in, we fit the cooktop, test it and make sure the benchtop cutout is tidy. Capping the old gas line is a licensed gasfitter's job, so book that separately or let us know your plumber. Hold a fridge magnet against your pots to see whether they will work on induction. For induction cooktop installation in South Melbourne, the cable route is the part worth planning.
