Why does an induction cooktop often need its own circuit?
Induction and larger cooktops can draw a lot of current, so they usually need a dedicated circuit sized to the appliance, not the old oven point.
- Dedicated circuit
- Right cable size
- Correct breaker
- Tested on completion
An old oven point may not be rated for a new induction cooktop. We check the appliance rating and provide a circuit that suits it.
Getting this right is what keeps the cooktop running safely at full output without nuisance tripping.
Why not let a handyman wire it in?
A hardwired appliance is licensed electrical work. A correct install is safe, certified, and keeps the manufacturer warranty intact.
An incorrect connection can be unsafe and can void the appliance warranty. A licensed install protects both you and your new appliance.
We connect what you have bought, test it, and leave it ready to use.
