Explore Different Features

When choosing a new electric cooktop, look for features specifically designed to accommodate cooking needs. This could mean a larger surface area, more burners or a range of advanced heating functions. Cooktop burners come in a variety of styles and designs, including smooth surface, coil and downdraft. Some manufacturers have replaced knobs and buttons with glide touch controls, letting you adjust temperatures and settings with just a swipe or tap of the finger.

Cost Factors

In addition to the purchase price, which can vary greatly depending on brand and features, homeowners can incur costs for installation. While replacing an existing cooktop with a similarly sized unit is fairly inexpensive, new installations can involve modifying the countertop and adding electrical outlets. If a vent hood is also being installed, expect to pay for more electric and HVAC services.

Working With a Professional

Some homeowners choose to attempt the installation themselves, and a simple replacement isn't overly complicated. However, it's recommended that a professional handle this task as the job could entail electrical work and modifications to the countertop that require skilled craftsmanship. Working with a contractor ensures that the cooktop is installed to manufacturer specifications, and the finished work is safe and appealing.
