How Much Does a Gas to Electric Cooktop Conversion Cost in Adelaide?
It All Begins Here
Thinking about ditching your gas cooktop for an induction or electric model? You're not alone. Thousands of Adelaide homeowners are making the switch every year — and for good reason. But one of the first questions everyone asks is: how much is this actually going to cost me?
Here's a straight answer.
The All-In Cost
For most Adelaide homes, a gas to electric cooktop conversion costs between $1000 and $2,000 all in. That includes the electrician, the gasfitter to cap the gas line, and a standard induction cooktop.
The main factors that affect price are whether your kitchen already has a 32A circuit (many older homes don't), how easy it is to access your switchboard, and the cooktop you choose.
What's Included in the Price
A proper conversion involves two trades — an electrician and a gasfitter. The gasfitter caps off the gas line safely and the electrician installs the new circuit and cooktop. At Switch Electrical we coordinate both in a single visit so you're not waiting around for two separate tradespeople.
Do I Need a New Circuit?
Induction cooktops require a dedicated 32A circuit. If your home doesn't have one already, we'll need to run a new circuit from your switchboard to the kitchen. This is the most common reason costs vary between jobs — it's straightforward in most homes but can take longer in older properties.
Is It Worth It?
Most Adelaide homeowners find the switch pays for itself within a few years through lower energy bills. If you have solar panels, induction is an especially smart move — you can cook during the day using free solar power instead of paying for gas.
You also eliminate the gas supply charge, which in SA runs around $400 a year regardless of how much gas you actually use.
