Induction cooktop installation
in St Kilda East.

Kitchen renovations are where it happens. The plan says induction, the cabinetmaker has cut the benchtop, and then someone asks whether the house can power it. In many St Kilda East homes, the answer is yes with changes. The board has had circuits squeezed on, and the cable to the kitchen was run for an older stove. We check the board, size a dedicated circuit and run it through the roof or floor to the cooktop position. Sometimes a switchboard upgrade is the sensible first step, and we say so. Because many homes here have patchwork wiring, we test the circuits that serve the kitchen before connecting. Gas removal is a job for a licensed gasfitter. Once the cooktop is in, we show you which breaker controls it and how to isolate it.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main induction cooktops page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician St Kilda East.
