ELECTRIC COOKTOPS
CHANGED TO GAS

Here are 8 common electric to gas cook top installation facts and questions:

Frequently Asked Questions

I have an electric cook top, Can I change this to a gas cook top?

Yes! I frequently install new gas systems into clients’ homes for those who prefer cooking on gas. Installation involves running a new gas line from the kitchen to a suitable outdoor location for LPG bottles, removing your electric cook top and installing a client supplied gas cooktop, plus testing and certification.

I don’t supply gas bottles or gas cook tops. You will need to supply your own 9kg gas bottles, or setup an account with a supplier for 45kg bottles.

There are legal restrictions on where gas bottles can go, they must be 1m from any drain/door or window, 1.5m from any powerpoint/air con/meter box/hot water or any other electrical source, and in a position that is open on three sides/not under a building/not on a varandah.

Alternatively, you may have natural gas available in your area. If you have neighbours with natural gas please contact APA on 1300 001 001 to make a new connection inquiry.

APA owns the natural gas pipelines in Queensland.

Do I need two an electrician?

No, I’m a fully licenced plumber and gas fitter with a restricted electrical licence.

Will I get a gas compliance certificate?

Yes, when working on a gas system in Queensland, a compliance certificate must be issued to the home owner on completion, and a gas compliance plate stuck inside the electric meter box which will contain details also found on the certificate.

Will you take the appliances with you?

Yes, I offer a complete installation service which includes taking your old electric appliances away to be recycled as well as any packaging materials from the new appliance.

How much will installation cost?

Electric to gas cooktop installations start from $1100 inc GST (bottles and gas cooktop not included)

Are there any hidden fees?

I charge an upfront price where possible, which won’t include repairs to your existing gas supply if you have one.

If further work is required to bring an old gas system up to current Australian gas compliance standards, this would incur additional costs.
