You'll also find a short video explanation with each quote type below, so you can see the process before you get in touch.
Gas Cooktop to Gas Cooktop
Swapping one gas cooktop for another is one of the most common changeovers we handle. Here's what we assume when putting your quote together.
Key Assumptions for Your Quote
Same-size benchtop cutout
We assume your new cooktop fits your existing cutout.
If cutting is required, we can provide this service (including engineered stone cutting by WorkSafe-approved professionals).
Gas supply compliance
Your current gas line is assumed to be safe, compliant, and leak-free.
Power supply
The existing power outlet will be reused.
Extra fittings if needed
Minor charges may apply for additional copper, valves, or labour to redirect the gas feed.
Clearance compliance
There must be 65 cm from the gas burner to the lowest part of your range hood.
Free disposal
Old appliances are always removed at no extra cost.
Electric Cooktop to Electric Cooktop
Upgrading your electric cooktop? Whether you're moving from ceramic to induction or simply replacing a like-for-like unit, here's how we structure your quote.
Key Assumptions for Your Quote
Same-size benchtop cutout
We assume your new electric cooktop will fit the existing cutout.
Cutting is available if needed (including engineered stone).
Circuit adequacy
We assume your old cooktop's electrical circuit is sufficient for the new one.
If not, a new circuit will be quoted separately.
Safety switch check
We may need to upgrade your switchboard safety switch if it's not compliant.
Mandatory isolation switch
A legal requirement for electric cooktops.
If you already have one, no extra work is needed.
Transparent quoting
All additional requirements are clearly listed in your quote.
Free disposal
Old appliances are always removed at no extra cost.
Dual Fuel Oven to Dual Fuel Oven
Dual fuel freestanding ovens combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven, so there are a few more moving parts to consider. Here's what we assume when quoting your changeover.
Key Assumptions for Your Quote
Product fit
We assume the new oven will fit existing cabinetry, as these sizes are standardised.
Clearance requirement
65 cm clearance is needed from gas burners to range hood.
If clearance is insufficient, we may raise the hood or switch to an induction model (only 60 cm clearance required).
Gas line compliance
Existing gas line is assumed safe and leak-free.
Rerouting or additional fittings may be quoted if necessary.
Electrical supply adequacy
Existing circuit is assumed to be suitable; upgrades are rarely needed.
Safety switch updates
May be required for compliance.
Free disposal
We remove your old oven at no cost.
Electric Oven to Electric Oven
Replacing one electric oven with another is usually the most straightforward changeover. Here's what we assume when we put your quote together.
Key Assumptions for Your Quote
Same-size fit
We assume the new oven fits the space of the old one. If it doesn't, we can provide minor cabinet modifications as an additional service.
Existing electrical circuit is suitable
In most cases the old oven's circuit will power the new unit. If it won't, we'll let you know and quote for running a new circuit. This will be shown clearly on your quote and explained in our terms and conditions.
Safety switch (RCBO) is adequate
This comes up more often than full circuitry upgrades and is usually simpler. If your switchboard's safety switch isn't compliant for the new oven, we may need to upgrade it.
Disposal included
All Addison Appliances installations include free disposal of your old appliance.
