If you’re not just into frying eggs and opening a cup of noodles, a gas cooker or gas burner is the smart way to cook up a delicious storm. Compared to an electric stove, there’s no more waiting for the elements to warm up with a gas appliance, whether a gas stove or gas cooktop. You only need to adjust the temperature at your fingertips significantly. Even top chefs and food lovers worldwide prefer to use gas for heating and cooking.
So, if you need a great job on new appliances like gas stovetops, cooktops, or ovens (wall ovens) and have them installed safely, call your trusted gas plumber for all your oven installations and gas connections.
Why choose a gas stove, cooktop, or oven?
With the array of choices nowadays, knowing what you want in your kitchen can be confusing, especially if you’re not a seasoned cook but want to get there someday.
So, here are some of the pros and cons of owning a gas stove, cooktop or oven to help you decide:
Pros:
- Gas stoves are the only type of cooktop that allows you to cook over a real flame.
- Gas boils water faster than an electric stove.
- Gas stoves are more energy efficient than electric ones.
- Grab a metal mesh rack and cook directly over the flame. This is a fantastic way to infuse smoky flavours into your favourite recipes.
- It still works when the power goes out.
Cons:
- The initial cost of installing ovens is higher than that of electric ranges. For instance, if you shift from electric to gas, you must install new piping and purchase a new oven. If changing your old gas oven to a new one, you must consider your existing gas supply.
- Achieving the same heat setting on gas cooktops can be challenging.
- Gas ranges are much harder to clean.
- While ovens preheat faster than electric ovens, they tend to cook more unevenly.

How to install a gas cooktop
Before cooking up a storm, you’ll need a licensed gasfitter to install your gas cooktop, stove, or oven. Every gas oven installation must conform to various statutory requirements and comply with manufacturers’ instructions. Always check out the manufacturer’s specifications. Get the minimum clearance and follow Australian regulations and standards done legally by a licensed gasfitter.
Getting your gas connection, line, oven, or stove installation wrong could void your manufacturer’s warranty and insurance and put your family at risk of gas leaks, fires, or worse.
One consideration in gas stove installation is the need for extra precautions, setting up a safety barrier, and using a fire-resistant material for your surfaces or when certain distances cannot be met.
Luckily, from taking your new appliance, like your gas oven, out of the box to cranking on the gas for the first time, our highly recommended fitter from Fixed Today can help get your gas installations, including your gas stove, cooktop, oven, and more, done right the first time.
