Why is now the best time for an Induction Cooktop?

The Electric Homes Program makes buying an induction cooktop and upgrading to an all-electric kitchen simple, safe, and stress-free. Induction cooking offers fast, responsive heat with excellent control, and because the surface uses less residual heat, it can be a safer and more energy-efficient option for modern homes.

Once you’ve chosen your preferred cooktop, we provide a formal quote and manage the installation from start to finish. This includes checking your switchboard, confirming the appliance fit, arranging any electrical upgrades, disconnecting your old unit if needed, and completing a compliant installation that meets all safety standards. We can also explain important features to look for when buying an induction cooktop, including child lock functions, extra safety features, and compatibility with larger cookware.

Our team can also help you understand cookware requirements, as induction works with magnetic materials such as cast iron, while some pots and pans may not be suitable. If you have questions about electromagnetic fields, performance, or day-to-day usability, we can guide you through the practical benefits so you can choose the right model with confidence.

With expert advice, professional installation, and support throughout the process, switching to induction is a straightforward way to modernise your kitchen and improve everyday cooking.

subtitle element Why Induction Cooktops?

What are the benefits of an Induction Cooktop in Geelong?

Switching to an induction cooktop offers unmatched efficiency, speed, and a healthier way to cook at home. Unlike gas, induction uses electromagnetic technology to heat the cookware directly, so far less energy is wasted heating the surrounding air.

That’s why induction cooktops can be up to three times more efficient than gas cooktops. With around 85% efficiency, induction delivers rapid heat-up times and highly responsive temperature control, while gas typically sits closer to 32% efficiency. The result is faster boiling, more precise simmering, and better overall performance — especially for everyday cooking.

Key benefits of induction cooking:

  • Faster, more precise heating

  • Significantly higher efficiency than gas

  • No combustion fumes for a healthier kitchen

  • Cooler, safer cooking surface

  • Easy-clean glass top design

Frequently asked questions

Yes, induction cooktops are much safer than traditional gas or electric stoves. Since they don’t use open flames, there’s no risk of accidental fire. Additionally, the cooktop surface stays relatively cool to the touch because heat is generated directly in the cookware, reducing the chance of burns. Even if you accidentally place your hand on the cooktop, it won’t be hot unless there’s a pot or pan on it. This makes induction cooktops an excellent option for households with children or pets.

Most induction cooktops are designed to work with a standard household power supply, typically 240V, which makes them easy to install in most homes. However, larger or more powerful induction cooktops, particularly those with multiple cooking zones or advanced features, may require a 3-phase power supply to handle the increased electrical load. If your home doesn’t already have a 3-phase power setup, an electrician may need to upgrade your switchboard to accommodate these models, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the appliance.

Induction cooktops are highly energy-efficient because they transfer around 90% of the generated energy directly to the cookware, compared to about 70% with traditional gas or electric stoves. This efficient energy transfer reduces heat loss and speeds up cooking times, making induction cooktops a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice. Since the heat is concentrated in the pan itself, less energy is wasted heating the surrounding air, and the kitchen stays cooler, contributing to a more comfortable cooking experience and lower utility bills.

Some induction cooktops may produce a slight humming or buzzing sound, particularly at higher power settings or when using certain types of cookware. This noise is typically caused by the interaction between the magnetic field and the metal in the cookware. The sound can also vary depending on the quality of the pot or pan, with heavier or higher-quality cookware often producing less noise. However, this buzzing is generally minimal and not disruptive, making it a minor consideration compared to the benefits of induction cooking.

Installation of an induction cooktop is generally straightforward, but it may require electrical upgrades if your home lacks the necessary power supply, especially for higher-powered or larger models. Some units may need a 3-phase power supply or switchboard upgrades to handle the electrical load safely. To ensure a proper and safe installation, it’s highly recommended to hire a licensed electrician. They will ensure that your cooktop is correctly wired, meets local safety standards, and operates efficiently without overloading your electrical system.
