Considerations

Gas cooktops typically have between four and six burners, and some may come with nonstick griddles. Decide what features are important and select the unit that meets those requirements.
Ensure the cooktop that's being installed matches the size of the existing unit. If it's smaller or larger, then some modifications may have to be made during the installation.

Cost Factors

Replacing a gas cooktop with a unit that's the same size is relatively simple and inexpensive; however, certain situations can add to the cost of the project. If the contractor needs to remove the existing unit and scrape the sealant from the countertop, this increases the labor time. Modifications or repairs to the countertop, gas line or electrical system can also significantly impact the price.

Using a Professional

Many local codes require that a licensed technician perform work that involves gas lines. Working with a professional contractor ensures that the cooktop is installed to manufacturer specifications, and installers check for gas leaks so that the unit is safe to operate. For models that are larger than the existing opening, a professional can make adjustments to the countertop providing a seamless installation.
