Ovens, cooktops and appliances.
Ovens, cooktops, range hoods and some dishwashers and air conditioners are hard-wired, which means a licensed electrician has to connect them. Kayden connects new appliances, replaces old ones, and adds the circuits needed when a bigger oven or an induction cooktop needs more than the old wiring can give.
In short
Hard-wired ovens, cooktops and range hoods must be connected by a licensed electrician in NSW. We connect and replace them across Dungog, Gresford and the Hunter, and add a bigger circuit when an induction cooktop needs one.

Induction cooktops are the common one: they often need a larger circuit than the ceramic cooktop they replace, and that's worth knowing before the appliance arrives.

- Isolators where the standard requires them

Questions about ovens, cooktops and appliances
Can I install an oven or cooktop myself?
Not if it's hard-wired. In NSW, connecting a hard-wired appliance is electrical work that must be done by a licensed electrician. Plug-in appliances you can plug in yourself.
Will an induction cooktop work on my existing circuit?
Sometimes. Many induction cooktops need a bigger circuit than the cooktop they replace. Send Kayden a photo of the new cooktop's rating plate and your switchboard before it's delivered.
What do you need to quote an appliance connection?
A photo of the appliance's rating plate, usually inside the oven door or under the cooktop, and one of your switchboard.
