Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does electric cooktop installation take in the Atlanta area?
Most electric cooktop installations take 2-3 hours, including disconnection of old cooktop, cooktop installation, electrical connection, element testing, and safety verification. First-time installations or those requiring countertop modifications may take 3-5 hours.
Q: What voltage do electric cooktops require?
Electric cooktops require a dedicated 220V circuit (also called 240V). This is different from standard 110V outlets used for small appliances. The circuit is typically 30-50 amps depending on cooktop size and wattage. Standard wall outlets are only 110V and cannot power electric cooktops.
Q: What sizes of electric cooktops can you install?
We install all standard sizes from 30" to 48" wide. Common sizes are 30", 36", and 48". Most residential cooktops are 30" or 36" wide. We serve homes throughout Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb, Fulton, and Forsyth counties with all sizes.
Q: Can you install any brand of electric cooktop?
Yes! We install all major brands including GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Bosch, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, and other manufacturers. We can also install electric cooktops purchased from Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, or online retailers.
Q: Do you handle disposal of my old electric cooktop?
Yes! For $25, we'll haul away your old electric cooktop and take it for proper recycling. This is optional but highly recommended for complete service.
Q: What is the difference between smoothtop and coil-element cooktops?
Smoothtop (ceramic glass) cooktops have a flat, easy-to-clean glass surface with radiant elements underneath. Coil-element cooktops have exposed metal coils that heat up. Smoothtop is more modern, easier to clean, and more attractive. Coil-element is less expensive but harder to clean.
Q: Do electric cooktops with downdraft require ductwork?
Yes, electric cooktops with downdraft require existing ductwork underneath or behind the cooktop. If no ductwork exists, it must be installed before cooktop installation (additional cost $800-2000+).
Q: Can I use my existing 110V outlet for an electric cooktop?
No. Electric cooktops require 220V power (also called 240V). Standard 110V wall outlets cannot provide enough power. You must have a dedicated 220V circuit installed by a licensed electrician if one doesn't exist.
Q: How powerful are electric cooktop elements?
Electric cooktop elements typically range from 1,200 watts (low-power warming elements) to 3,000-3,600 watts (high-power rapid-heat elements). Professional models may have elements up to 4,000+ watts. Higher wattage means faster heating.
Q: What is a bridge element?
A bridge element is a feature on some electric cooktops that allows two elements to work together as one large cooking zone, perfect for griddles, large pots, or oval cookware. The bridge element connects adjacent elements electronically.
Q: Do electric cooktops work during power outages?
No. Electric cooktops require electrical power to operate. Unlike gas cooktops (which can work during power outages with match-light), electric cooktops cannot function without electricity.
Q: What is a hot surface indicator?
A hot surface indicator is a safety light that stays illuminated as long as the cooktop surface is hot enough to burn. Even after turning off elements, the glass surface retains heat. The indicator warns you when the surface is still unsafe to touch.
