Typical Cooktop Replacement Cost (Australia)
Installation only (labour):
Standard swap (same size, same type): $490 – $590
Induction or complex install: $500 – $1,000+
Appliance disposal: $50 – $100 (sometimes included)
These ranges align with quotes from plumbers/electricians and appliance installers.
Appliance Cost
For a basic 60 cm cooktop:
Entry-level: $400 – $600
Mid-range: $600 – $900
Premium: $1,000+
Brands like Westinghouse, Bosch, and Fisher & Paykel commonly fall in these ranges.
Typical total installed price:
Standard replacement: $700 – $1,200
Induction conversion: $1,200 – $2,000+
What Makes It More Expensive
Changing energy type
Gas → induction/electric may require a new dedicated electrical circuit (20–32 A).
This can add $300 – $800+.
Benchtop modification
Laminate: $100 – $200
Stone/engineered stone: $150 – $400+
Extra compliance work
Gas compliance certificate from a licensed plumber
Switchboard upgrade if electrical capacity is insufficient
Licensing Requirements
In Queensland:
Gas cooktops: must be installed by a licensed gas fitter/plumber.
Electric/induction: must be installed by a licensed electrician.
DIY installation isn’t legal for hard-wired appliances.
✅ Bottom line:
Your estimate of $700–$1,200 total for a basic replacement is realistic, while induction upgrades or cutout changes can push it to $1,500–$2,000+.
