What you need to know before you change to Induction!
Induction cooktops require, usually 32amps. If you currently have gas, 99 times out of 100 we will need to run a new cable from the switchbaord to your cooktop location. Some runs can be tricky, however, there is usually a way!
The same will apply for replacing a ceramic cooktop as it will most likley have a 20 amp circuit, if not piggy backed off the oven circuit already.
How to choose the right size Induction Cooktop?
Which induction you choose is usually down to prefrence and looks.
One of the most common headaches when switching from gas to electric is making sure the new unit fits your benchtop cutout.
Here’s how you can handle it:
- Measure the Cutout
Start by measuring the cutout in your benchtop where the current cooktop sits. If you can, try lifting the old unit by gently prying it from the edges or pushing it up from underneath through the cupboard. Sometimes, though, the cooktop is screwed in and won’t easily budge. - If There’s an Oven Underneath
If you have an oven installed underneath, it’s usually held in place with two screws on the sides. Once these screws are removed, the oven should slide out, but be cautious—it can be heavy, and there may be electrical wiring nearby. In this case, it’s safest to call in a professional. - Find a New Unit That Fits
Once you’ve measured the cutout, you can head over to sites like Appliances Online to find a new cooktop that will fit those dimensions. Their filters let you plug in the size and show you all the compatible models. (We’re not affiliated, but we like their tools.) - If You Can’t Lift the Cooktop
If lifting the cooktop doesn’t work, you can try measuring from underneath through the cupboard. Another option is to find the model number of your current cooktop and search online for its dimensions. - Avoid Cutting the Benchtop
It’s best to find a cooktop that fits perfectly without having to modify the benchtop. Cutting into materials like stone can release harmful silica dust, plus it will add to your installation costs.
Power usage when using induction cooktops
Don't be fooled - just because they need a large power supply (32 amps) you may think they will use a lot of energy, they don't!
Think of it this way, they heat up so quick, your bringing the hobs down to simmer very early on in the coking process. Unlike traditional ceramic cooktops, they're weaker so require high power usage for longer periods.
