Cooktop Installation

It might surprise you just how much a brand new cooktop can improve your meal preparation and bring your kitchen into the modern era. A new cooktop is a must-have addition that instantly modernises your kitchen and enhances efficiency when it’s time for meal preparation.

The old cooktop just can’t compare with a new electric or gas model and certainly won’t compete with a cutting-edge induction model. So, whether you’re tired of broken burners and hard-to-clean surfaces or you’re upgrading to your dream kitchen, there’s a new unit which is ideal for your cooking needs.

Upside Down has a team of experienced technicians who can repair your existing electrical cooktop and oven or install brand new units at a time that suits you. We’re available 24/7, every day of the year, and we always aim to be at your door within an hour of your call* in an emergency.

Electric Cooktop Installation

Electric cooktops are favoured for modern homes thanks to their affordability and ease of use. Beyond the basics, electric models offer consistent temperatures and their flat, smooth surfaces are so convenient for cleaning.

Modern electric cooktops are made from ceramic and glass with electric coils that distribute radiant heat to your pots and pans. You can replace an old cooktop with a new electric cooktop, which will be a boost for your kitchen.

Once you’ve settled on a model, it’s incredibly important that a professional electrician completes the installation.

Cooktops and ovens are required by law to be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician. Most models are wired directly into the home’s circuitry as they need a 240-volt connection, which is higher than the voltage of standard powerpoints.

Make Upside Down your first choice when it comes to standard electric cooktop installation. We will not only install the new model, but also remove the existing appliance. Our local electricians have extensive knowledge and experience, from 50-year-old stoves to the latest in ceramic cooktop technology.

Gas Cooktop Installation

Natural gas is an efficient fuel that’s cheaper than electricity and produces up to 48% less in carbon emissions, making it a more sustainable option. This means that gas cooktops make a great choice should your home have the advantage of a natural gas connection.

A modern-look, new gas cooktop with stainless steel surrounds can cost more upfront that an electric cooktop, but the benefits are worth it. At Upside Down, we not only have electricians on the road but also plumbers and qualified gas fitters. A qualified gas fitter must do all gas line work within the home, which includes gas ovens and cooktops.

Our technicians can detect faults, test for leaks, safely extend a gas line and replace an existing gas cooktop with a new model. That's right, your old gas cooktop can be replaced with a stylish new appliance.

There are also restrictions on positioning and minimal clearance requirements between gas burners and surrounds. When you rely on a professional gas cooktop installer, you take the guesswork out of the job and receive the necessary certificate of compliance.

Induction Cooktop Installation

The induction cooktop offers the latest in-home cooking technology. These innovative appliances rely on electricity and require an expert for installation. However, they use a completely different process to standard convection cooktops.

Induction cookers feature copper coils beneath the glass and ceramic top. These coils create a magnetic current that transfers the heat directly into the pot or pan. As a result, your cooktop remains surprisingly cool to the touch and 85-90% of the heating energy is transferred to the pot.

Induction is also the most efficient form of cooking, heating foods and liquids much faster than standard electric and gas cooktops. These models cost more upfront, but the cooking and safety benefits are well worth the money.
