Induction cooktops heat faster, control more precisely, and produce zero combustion in your home — making them the clear upgrade from gas for health, performance, and running cost.
Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat the pan directly — not the air or a burner. The result is faster heating, precise temperature control, a cool-to-touch surface, and zero combustion gases in your home.
Induction transfers 85% of energy directly to the cookware. Gas burners transfer only 40–55% — the rest heats your kitchen, not your food.
Digital temperature control and instant response allows precision cooking — simmer sauces, melt chocolate, and maintain a rolling boil with accuracy gas cannot match.
Only the area under the pan heats up. The cooktop surface itself remains cool to the touch — significantly reducing the risk of burns, especially for households with children.
No grates, no burner rings, no grease traps. The smooth ceramic glass surface wipes clean in seconds — a dramatic improvement over gas cooktops.
Removing your gas cooktop allows you to close the gas account entirely — eliminating the standing supply charge of $300–$400 per year before a single unit of gas is used.
Induction produces no flame and burns no gas. No carbon monoxide, no nitrogen dioxide, no particulates — essential for households with asthma or respiratory sensitivities.
Research published in the Medical Journal of Australia and by the Climate Council has found that gas cooktops emit nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde, and fine particulates during normal operation — often exceeding outdoor air quality standards inside the home within minutes of cooking.
Children in homes with gas cooking have been shown to have a significantly higher risk of asthma. Switching to induction eliminates these emissions at source.
Induction cooktops produce no flame, no combustion gases, and no particulates. The only emission is steam from the food itself.
All Electric Homes manages the complete gas-to-induction transition — gas cooktop removal, new induction cooktop installation, and switchboard upgrade if required. One visit. Done.
We assess your existing cooktop configuration, benchtop material, and switchboard capacity. We recommend an induction cooktop sized and spec'd for your kitchen and cooking habits.
Most induction cooktops require a dedicated 20A or 32A circuit. If your switchboard doesn't have spare capacity, AEH manages the upgrade as part of the installation — no separate contractor needed.
Our licensed plumber disconnects and removes the existing gas cooktop, caps the gas line at the wall, and makes good the benchtop ready for induction installation.
The new induction cooktop is installed by our licensed electrician, connected to the dedicated circuit, and tested before handover. Most installations are complete in a half day.
