7 Things to Know Before Installing a Gas Cooking Appliance
Gas
Supply Line
Must be free from leaks and meet current regulations. A shut-off valve may be required. If needed, we can quote and upgrade on the day of installation.

Rangehood
Clearance
Gas cooktops need 650mm clearance from the top of the highest burner to the lowest point of the rangehood.

Service
Compliance
All connections must meet Australian safety standards. Older services may need upgrades. We will check this for you.

Changeover
Quotes
Our “changeover” pricing assumes your existing services are compliant and your new unit fits. If extra works are needed, we’ll provide clear, upfront costs.

Alternative
Options
If clearance or compliance issues cannot be met, some clients choose induction cooktops, which only require 600mm clearance.
