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.

Comments On Monday 2/7 My Aunt is giving me her gently used Kenmore Appliances (Refrigerator/freezer, Dishwasher, and hood/microwave).
-The dishwasher is replacing my current old dishwasher(water lines are in place),
-the Fridge/freezer has an ice maker and water dispenser that my current fridge does not have. so I would like to see if it can be connected to a water line.
-the microwave needs to go over my stove. I currently have a small cabinet overhead so Im no sure if it needs to be raised in order to accommodate the new microwave/hood.
-My existing fridge needs to be moved downstairs to my ground floor storage area to replace an older fridge that can be taken away
i hope this all make sense! I would love to do this next week and have the money ready ta go
