Connecting an electric stove or upright cooker is licensed electrical work, because these appliances draw a lot of power and usually need a dedicated circuit of the correct rating to run safely. Our licensed electricians install and connect electric stoves, check your circuit and switchboard can supply the appliance, and add a dedicated circuit where needed, all to the AS/NZS 3000 standard. We disconnect and remove your old stove, connect the new one safely, and test it, and can connect your oven, cooktop and range hood too. We install stoves across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with same-day service where we can and an upfront fixed price.

Professional stove installation
Installing an electric stove or freestanding upright cooker involves connecting it to your electrical supply safely, and because these appliances draw a large amount of power, this is licensed electrical work that must be done by a licensed electrician, not a delivery driver or handyman. A proper installation ensures the stove is connected to a suitable circuit of the correct rating, wired safely, and tested, so it works reliably and safely and your warranty is protected. We install and connect electric stoves and upright cookers, disconnect and remove old ones, and check your circuit and switchboard can supply the appliance. We install stoves across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, to the AS/NZS 3000 standard, with an upfront fixed price.
Why a stove needs a dedicated circuit
Electric stoves and upright cookers draw a lot of power, combining the oven and cooktop elements, so they almost always require a dedicated circuit of the correct rating to run safely, rather than sharing a general circuit. Running such a high-draw appliance on an inadequate or shared circuit causes nuisance tripping and, more seriously, overheating of the wiring, which is a fire risk. A dedicated circuit, correctly sized for the stove’s power, ensures it runs reliably and safely within the capacity of its supply. We determine the correct circuit for your stove, check whether a suitable one exists, and install a new dedicated circuit of the right rating if needed, so your stove has the proper, safe supply it requires.
Checking your circuit and switchboard
Before connecting a stove, we check that your circuit and switchboard can safely supply it, an important step a non-electrician would skip. A new stove may draw more power than the one it replaces, and an older switchboard, or an undersized or ageing circuit, may not cope, leading to tripping or overheating. We verify the circuit rating and the switchboard’s capacity and condition, and if a dedicated circuit needs to be run, or the switchboard upgraded to handle the load, we will let you know and quote it. This ensures your new stove runs safely within its supply, rather than overloading a circuit or board that was never designed for it, protecting your home and the appliance.
Hardwired stove connection
Electric stoves and upright cookers are usually hardwired, connected directly to the dedicated circuit via an isolation switch, rather than plugged in, because they draw too much current for a standard plug and socket. We make this connection safely, with the correct cable and connection method for the stove’s rating, and ensure the isolation switch is accessible as required, so the stove can be safely isolated for cleaning or service. Hardwiring a high-power appliance correctly is precisely the kind of work that must be done by a licensed electrician, as an incorrect connection, loose terminals or undersized cable is a serious fire risk. We complete the connection to the standard, so your stove is safely and properly wired.
Replacing an old stove
Replacing an old electric stove with a new one is a common job, and usually straightforward because the circuit and connection are already there, though we always check they suit the new appliance. We disconnect and safely remove the old stove, connect the new one, and test it. If the new stove draws more power than the old one, or the existing circuit or connection is not up to standard, we will let you know and upgrade it as needed. We can also take the old stove away. Whether you are upgrading to a better model or replacing a failed stove, we handle the electrical connection, so your new stove is connected safely and ready to use.
Freestanding and upright cookers
Freestanding and upright cookers combine the oven and cooktop in one unit, and like built-in electric stoves, they draw significant power and usually need a dedicated circuit and a hardwired connection (for electric models). We install and connect electric freestanding and upright cookers, ensuring the circuit and connection suit the appliance’s power draw, and positioning the connection and isolation switch correctly. For gas or dual-fuel upright cookers, the gas side needs a licensed gas fitter, which we can arrange, along with the electrical connection for the ignition, oven or fan. Whatever type of upright cooker you have, we make sure its electrical connection is correct and safe, so it works reliably.
Gas and dual-fuel stoves
Some stoves are gas or dual-fuel (a gas cooktop with an electric oven), and these need both a licensed gas fitter for the gas connection and a licensed electrician for the electrical side. The gas connection to a gas cooktop or stove must by law be done by a licensed gas fitter, which we can arrange, while the electrical connection for an electric oven, ignition or fan is done by our electricians. We coordinate both so your gas or dual-fuel stove is connected correctly and safely on both the gas and electrical sides, and the gas work comes with a compliance certificate. We make sure whatever type of stove you have is connected properly by the right licensed tradespeople.
Stove, oven and cooktop together
A kitchen may have a freestanding stove, or separate built-in oven and cooktop, plus a range hood, and we can install and connect whatever your kitchen has. Separate electric ovens and cooktops each often need their own dedicated circuit, while a range hood is a lighter load. We ensure each appliance has the correct circuit and connection, and that the switchboard can handle the combined load. Installing them together as one job is efficient and ensures everything is correctly and safely supplied. Whether it is a single freestanding stove or a full oven, cooktop and range hood setup, we connect your kitchen cooking appliances properly.
Safe, compliant connection
Connecting a stove correctly is about more than making it work, it is about doing it safely and to the wiring standard. We ensure the stove is connected with the correct cable and connection method for its rating, on a suitable dedicated circuit with the right protection, via an accessible isolation switch, and that everything is secure and tested. An incorrectly connected stove, loose terminals, an undersized cable, or an inadequate circuit, is a serious fire risk, which is exactly why this is licensed work. We complete every stove installation to the AS/NZS 3000 standard, so your appliance is connected safely and compliantly, and you can cook with confidence that the connection is sound.
Stove not working?
If your electric stove has stopped working, the cause may be electrical rather than the appliance, a tripped circuit, a failed connection, a faulty isolation switch, or a circuit fault. Before assuming the stove is dead, it is worth having the electrical supply and connection checked. We can diagnose whether the problem is in the wiring, the circuit or the connection, and repair it, restoring power to your stove. If the fault is within the appliance itself, we will let you know so you can arrange an appliance repair or replacement. Often a stove that seems broken simply has an electrical supply or connection fault that we can find and fix.
How much does it cost?
The cost of installing a stove depends mainly on whether a suitable dedicated circuit already exists or a new one needs to be run from the switchboard, and the type of connection. A straightforward replacement using an existing suitable circuit is quicker and cheaper than installing a new dedicated circuit, which involves more work. If the switchboard needs upgrading to handle the load, that adds to it. We assess your situation, including the circuit and switchboard, and give you an upfront fixed price before we start, so you know the cost, with no surprises if additional electrical work turns out to be needed. We will explain what is required.
