What is the structure type, brick or frame, single or double storey? How far from your switchboard to the kitchen? Can the sparky get the new cable down to the cooktop without having to open up walls? It's not a simple task. It's easy during construction but as a retro fit it can be costly undertaking. Not all appliances have the same cut out size, not all 600 cooktops fit in the same hole. You will need to be careful when choosing what new induction top you get. The other thing is what other electrically hungry items do you have in the house (AC, HWS, ovens, etc). Some induction cooktops draw so much current you almost have to have three phase power so you don't overload the circuit.

I wish ours would not be too complicated. I guess we have to prepare ourselves for a massive bill. Still better pay now than regret later. If only I did more research and paid more attention to the paperworks, I wouldnt have this kind of hassle. My daughter and son in law are about to start building, they are having a 600mm induction cook top and 900mm oven. It's personal preferance 5 13047 I want to build a decking to the drawn shape outlined in black. The problem is how close can I build to the gas hot water unit?
