In short
Ambient Electrical does induction cooktop installation in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and connects wall ovens, upright stoves and electric hot water systems. The size of the existing circuit decides which fixed appliance it can safely run. An induction cooktop often draws more current than the appliance it replaces, so the circuit is checked before the new one goes in and upgraded if it is too small.

Thinking about upgrading your Oven, Cooktop, Stove or Hot Water System? Consider the following before you do anything.
Ambient Electrical installs cooktops, wall ovens and upright stoves, as well as electric hot water systems, and can remove and dispose of the old unit.
What an induction cooktop needs from your switchboard
When replacing a cooktop, oven, stove or hot water system, the existing circuit matters. Its size, or current-carrying capacity, decides which fixed appliance it can run. An undersized circuit overloads and will keep tripping, and the circuit or the switchboard may need upgrading first. Call before you buy the new appliance, so it suits the supply you have. The same check comes first before an EV charger goes in.

Cooktops & ovens: common questions
Can I swap my cooktop for an induction model on the same circuit?
An induction cooktop cannot always run on the old cooktop's circuit. The size of the existing circuit, its current-carrying capacity, determines which fixed appliance it can safely run. Induction cooktops often draw more than the old appliance, so the circuit needs to be checked and sometimes upgraded before installation.
Does Ambient install ovens and hot water systems too?
Ambient installs wall ovens, upright stoves, cooktops and electric hot water systems, and can remove and dispose of the old appliance.
Will I get a compliance certificate for a new oven or cooktop?
Connecting a new oven or cooktop, even a like-for-like replacement, is work NSW names in its CCEW rules, so a certificate is lodged and you receive a copy.
What affects the cost of installing an induction cooktop?
The cost of installing an induction cooktop depends on whether the existing circuit is big enough, how far a new circuit would have to run from the switchboard, whether the switchboard has room for it, and whether the old appliance is removed. Peter gives you a clear quote before any work starts.
