This job combines new electrical circuits, appliance hookup and gas line capping. Electrical work beyond a like-for-like swap and any gas capping are licensed trade work, done by pros who hold the license that applies where you live.

Before you book induction cooktop & kitchen electrification
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Test your cookware with a magnet
Hold a refrigerator magnet to the bottom of each pan. If it clings firmly, it will work on induction.
Photograph the current range and the panel
Show the range, its wall plug or gas connection, the shutoff valve and your electrical panel with the door open. That lets the pro plan wire routes before arriving.
Choose the model before the visit
Give the pro the make and model or the cutout dimensions so they can check fit and circuit size. Standard sizes differ between cooktops and ranges.
Know where the gas shutoff is
Find the valve near the range and tell the pro about any other gas appliances on the line. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the utility.
Check building or landlord rules
Rentals, condos and some buildings limit electrical or gas changes. Get written permission before the visit.
Plan for a short kitchen outage
Cooking may stop for part of the job while the circuit and capping are done. Plan meals around it, and clear space around the range for the crew.
Say where in Foster City you are
