Cooktop and oven installation in Brisbane
Electric cooktops and ovens are fixed appliances that connect to the installation rather than plug into an outlet, which makes their connection electrical work. Induction cooktops in particular draw considerably more than the units they usually replace.

The job is straightforward when the existing circuit suits the new appliance. Where it does not, that needs to be known before the joiner cuts the benchtop, not after.

Oven connection
Under-bench and wall ovens connected with accessible isolation.
Circuit upgrade where needed

Why people call
Common reasons for this job.
- A kitchen is being renovated

- A gas cooktop is being replaced with induction
- The new appliance draws more than the one it replaces
- A property is being prepared for sale or lease
- An appliance was delivered and needs connecting properly
How Hoff works
The approach.
Hoff asks for the appliance model before quoting. Induction in particular often needs more than the circuit that fed the old cooktop, and finding that out on installation day is expensive.
Where a kitchen is being renovated, it is worth having the circuit confirmed before cabinetry goes in. Running a new circuit into a finished kitchen means patching that could have been avoided.
Isolation is left accessible. An oven that can only be isolated at the switchboard is inconvenient for every future service call.
Connecting a fixed cooking appliance is electrical work requiring a licensed electrical contractor. Hoff holds Electrical Contractor Licence 90673. The circuit is tested on completion and the required certificate is issued. Gas appliance work is not carried out by Hoff's.

Cooktops & ovens questions.
Yes. Induction usually draws more than the cooktop it replaces, so the circuit is checked against the appliance rating first.
Sometimes. It depends on the rating of the new appliance versus the existing cable and protection. Send Hoff the model and he can tell you before the day.
Have the circuit confirmed before cabinetry is installed. Running a circuit into a finished kitchen means avoidable patching.
No. Hoff's is electrical and air-conditioning only. Gas work requires a gas fitter.
