$1,000 induction cooktop rebate — ditch gas

Gas cooktops feel familiar until the bill arrives and the kitchen is the last fossil load in an otherwise electric house. Induction is faster, cleaner, and it drinks solar in the middle of the day if you time it even roughly.

Victorian households may be eligible for Solar Victoria’s induction cooktop rebate. The catch is never the cooktop — it is the circuit. Many kitchens need a dedicated supply and a switchboard that can take it. We treat that electrical work as part of the job, not a surprise on install day.

Done with solar, a battery and a heat pump, induction is the last piece of a house that no longer depends on a gas connection. That is a comfort decision as much as a bill decision.
