Are you thinking about replacing gas heating with electric in your Sydney home, especially in the kitchen? Whether you’re concerned about safety, energy efficiency, or simply want a more modern setup, induction cooking is a smart upgrade. At Russo Electrical, we specialise in helping Sydney homeowners make the switch from gas to electric — safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
Based in Five Dock and servicing the Inner West, Northern Suburbs, Lower North Shore, and Eastern Suburbs, Russo Electrical has built a reputation for expert gas-to-electric conversions, particularly for those ready to embrace induction cooktops.
The trend of replacing gas heating with electric appliances and systems is accelerating across Australia. When it comes to kitchens, the advantages of induction over gas are clear:
Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly — not the air around them. This means faster cooking times and less energy waste. Compared to gas, electric induction systems convert up to 90% of energy into heat, while gas typically manages just 40–55%.
No open flames, no risk of gas leaks, and cooktops that remain cool to the touch — induction is far safer, especially in homes with children or elderly family members.
Induction offers instant, accurate heat adjustments, ideal for consistent cooking results. Unlike gas, which can fluctuate, electric induction ensures steady temperatures.
The smooth, flat glass surface of an induction cooktop makes it easy to wipe down — no more scrubbing burners or awkward gaps where food gets trapped.
Induction cooktops blend seamlessly with contemporary kitchen designs, offering a sleek and uncluttered look that suits today’s minimalist trends.
We make replacing gas heating with electric in your kitchen straightforward. Here’s what the process looks like with Russo Electrical:
Our licenced electricians visit your home to assess your kitchen layout and electrical setup. This helps us determine the exact requirements to support your new induction cooktop.
Many homes, particularly older ones, require switchboard upgrades or additional circuits. We handle this in full compliance with Australian standards to ensure safe, reliable operation.
We work alongside qualified gas fitters to safely disconnect and cap off your existing gas supply, meeting all safety regulations.
Once your electrical system is ready, we install the new induction cooktop and test it for performance and safety.
Our team performs thorough safety checks and provides all relevant compliance certificates for your records and peace of mind.
Will I need a switchboard upgrade?
In many cases, yes — especially if your home is older. Induction cooktops draw more power than standard appliances. We’ll assess this during our initial visit.
How long does the conversion take?
Generally, the full conversion — from gas disconnection to induction cooktop installation — is completed within a single day, depending on the complexity of the job.
Is induction cooking more expensive to run?
While the upfront cost may be higher, induction cooktops are far more energy-efficient than gas. Over time, you’ll likely see savings on your electricity bill.
Can you recommend an induction cooktop?
Absolutely. We can suggest models that suit your cooking style, kitchen layout, and budget. We only recommend trusted, reliable brands.
Is replacing gas heating with electric worth it?
Yes. Beyond the kitchen, replacing gas heating with electric throughout your home can lower maintenance costs, reduce emissions, and improve overall energy efficiency — a smart move as energy markets continue to evolve.
