Installing or replacing an electric oven or cooktop?

We make the electrical connection an oven or cooktop needs, on a correctly sized dedicated circuit, and test it before you cook on it.

The short answer: An electric oven or cooktop must be connected to the right circuit by a licensed electrician. We handle like-for-like swaps and first installs, tested and certified.

Many ovens and most cooktops are hardwired, not plugged in, which is electrical work. We connect them to the right circuit and check the connection.

This is everyday electrical work for us. For the gas side of a kitchen, see gas cooktops.

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.
