Cooktop Replacement

Replacing your cook-top stove is a job that requires careful consideration of a couple of different factors. The main thing to be aware of is the power that a cooktop requires. Cooktops have their own dedicated circuit and can require up to 20 amps of electricity. Matching the power requirements of your new cooktop to the power provided from this dedicated circuit is crucial both to safety and for avoiding costly repairs. The other factor to consider is the size of your new cooktop compared to the available space.
