Induction Cooktops — recent work by Ingot Electrics

Induction cooktops are increasingly popular — they’re faster, more energy-efficient, and safer than gas or ceramic alternatives. But they draw significant current, and a proper electrical installation is essential for safe, compliant operation.

We handle the full electrical side of induction cooktop installations: assessing your existing capacity, installing a dedicated circuit from the switchboard, connecting the cooktop (hardwired or via a dedicated outlet), and issuing a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

If your switchboard needs an upgrade to accommodate the new circuit, we’ll include that in the quote — no hidden extras. We work closely with kitchen renovation companies across the north-east and can coordinate with your cabinetmaker or builder if needed.

Common Questions

Do I need a new circuit for an induction cooktop?

Almost always, yes. Induction cooktops typically draw 20–32 amps — far more than a standard 10A powerpoint circuit. A dedicated circuit from the switchboard is required for safe, code-compliant operation.

Can I install an induction cooktop myself?

No — by law, electrical connection of a hardwired appliance must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Doing it yourself is illegal and voids your home insurance.

Will my switchboard need upgrading?

It depends on the age and current load of your switchboard. We'll assess this during the quote visit. If a new circuit can be added without upgrading the board, we'll tell you.
