When contemplating the transition to a new electric cooktop or replacing your current unit, several critical factors come into play:
Gas to Electric Transition
If your current cooktop installation is gas-powered, ensuring a safe disconnection and capping service is necessary. QCE offers seamless arrangements inclusive of our single price.
Size & Model Precision
Understanding the dimensions of your existing cooktop installation is imperative. Measure meticulously from underneath the cupboard and provide the model number for precise recommendations.
Electrical Load Requirements
Electric cooktop installations generally draw high electrical loads, necessitating a dedicated circuit. Opting for a replacement with a similar load rating can alleviate the need for running new circuits. Transitioning from gas will undoubtedly require a new dedicated circuit, with customised quotes based on your home’s unique conditions.


Main Grid Capacity Evaluation
Delve into your home’s main grid capacity when considering adding a new electric cooktop installation. Larger cooktops, like 900 mm models, often draw significant power, mandating a capacity check to ensure suitability. Should your home lack the capacity, a main system upgrade might be necessary. QCE is pleased to offer complimentary assistance in addressing this matter.
Exploring Electric Cooktop Varieties
Older electric cooktop installations employ heating coil elements and differ from induction cooktop installations utilising magnetic technology. Induction cooktops offer quicker, cleaner heating, albeit drawing more power and requiring specialised cookware. Their sleek, flat design sets them apart aesthetically. Understanding these distinctions aids in selecting the optimal electric cooktop variant for your kitchen upgrade.

Environmental & Technological Shifts
With the phasing out of gas heating in homes across Victoria and the increased emphasis on solar and battery technology, a significant number of consumers are proactively transitioning to all-electric setups, positioning themselves at the forefront of sustainable living.


UNDERSTANDING ELECTRIC VS. INDUCTION
It is crucial to differentiate between standard electric cooktops and induction cooktop installations. Induction cooking offers rapid, precise, and energy-efficient heat, setting it apart from traditional electric models.
