What can be converted

A practical electrical plan for each appliance

You can convert everything at once or stage the work as gas appliances reach the end of their life. The right sequence depends on your home, switchboard, wiring and preferred appliances.

Heat-pump hot water

We complete the required electrical supply, circuit protection and connection work, coordinating with the plumber or hot-water installer where needed.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling

We assess the load and provide the dedicated electrical supply required for suitable reverse-cycle equipment installed by the relevant trade.

Switchboard and supply capacity

If the existing board cannot safely support the planned load, we explain the options. This may include a switchboard upgrade or other supply work.

Start with the electrical capacity

Check the home before choosing the final scope

Electrification adds new loads to the home. An assessment helps identify what the existing installation can support and what should be upgraded before new appliances are connected.

  • Existing switchboard condition and circuit protection
  • Available supply capacity and expected appliance loads
  • Cable routes, isolation requirements and access
  • Whether the work is best completed now or in stages
Before adding load

Already seeing faults or frequent tripping?

That should be investigated before extra load is added. Our switchboard support service covers fault finding, damaged components and recurring protection issues.

Gas disconnection, removal and capping must be completed by a licensed gasfitter. Russo Electrical can coordinate the electrical work with the other trades involved.

FAQs

Gas-to-electric conversion FAQs

Do I need to convert every appliance at once?

No. Many households stage the conversion as appliances need replacement. We can assess the overall electrical plan so each step supports the next one.

Will my switchboard need upgrading?

Not always. It depends on the condition of the board, available capacity, existing protection and the appliances being added. We assess this before recommending the scope.

Who disconnects the gas?

A licensed gasfitter must disconnect or cap the gas installation. Russo Electrical completes the electrical work and can coordinate timing with the other trades.

Can you connect an induction cooktop as part of the conversion?

Yes. We can assess the supply, install the required circuit and isolation, connect the cooktop and test the electrical work.

Is the work covered by a workmanship warranty?

Eligible Russo Electrical work is covered under our workmanship warranty. Review the warranty page for the current terms and coverage.
