What are the benefits of switching from an electric stove to an induction cooktop?
Induction cooktops are more energy-efficient, providing faster cooking times and precise temperature control. They are also safer, as the cooktop itself remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of burns.
Can I use my existing cookware with an induction cooktop?
Induction cooktops require cookware made of magnetic materials such as cast iron or certain stainless steels. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your cookware, it is compatible with an induction cooktop.
What do I do if my existing cooktop cut out is too small or too large?
If your benchtop is made of stone or timber our experienced tradesmen can organise to either extend or fill in your bench space.
That’s the benefit of coming to us we are a full service installation provider.

How long does the conversion process take?
The conversion process typically takes a few hours, but the exact time can vary depending on your current setup and any additional electrical work required.
Will my existing electrical setup support an induction cooktop?
Induction cooktops generally require a dedicated circuit and specific amperage. Our technicians at All Installs will assess your current electrical setup and advise if any upgrades are necessary.
Is it expensive to convert to an induction cooktop?
The cost can vary based on the specific model of the cooktop and any necessary electrical upgrades. All Installs provides a detailed quote after assessing your kitchen and electrical system.
Are induction cooktops easy to clean?
Yes, induction cooktops have a smooth, flat surface that is easy to wipe clean. Since the cooktop itself doesn’t get hot, spills are less likely to burn onto the surface.
Is it safe to install an induction cooktop?
Yes, induction cooktops are safe to install and use. They have built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off and child locks. Our professional installers ensure that the installation is done to the highest safety standards.
Will an induction cooktop affect my electricity bill?
While induction cooktops can be more energy-efficient than traditional electric stoves, they may increase your electricity usage slightly. However, the faster cooking times and efficiency can offset this increase.
What should I do to prepare for the installation?
Ensure the installation area is clear and accessible. If possible, have your cookware ready for testing once the installation is complete. Our team will provide any specific instructions prior to the installation day.
