Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter and should come with a compliance certificate, this is a safety and legal requirement, not a handyman job.
A like-for-like gas cooktop swap is quick and cheap. The cost climbs if you need a new gas point, a line run across the kitchen, or a benchtop cut-out. Always use a licensed gasfitter and get a compliance certificate.
Ways to save
- A straight swap onto an existing gas point is the cheapest, keep the same size to avoid a new cut-out.
- Coordinate with your benchtop if the cut-out is changing, so it is done once.
- Insist on a gas compliance certificate, it is your proof the work is safe and legal.
How we estimate this
Installing a gas cooktop in Australia typically costs around $150 to $300 for a like-for-like swap in 2026, rising to $400 to $1,500 if a new gas point, a line run or a benchtop cut-out is needed. Converting from electric is at the top of that range.

What a gas cooktop installation costs in Brisbane
A gas cooktop installation in Brisbane is priced mainly by the gas connection, so the question is whether gas already reaches the kitchen. Connecting to an existing point is a modest job, while running a new line needs a licensed gas fitter and is the bigger cost. A Brisbane twist is that mains natural gas is less universal than in the southern cities, so a good number of homes run on bottled LPG, which needs cylinders, a regulator and a safe outdoor cylinder location, and that setup is part of the install where there is no mains gas.
The classic Queenslander, often with its kitchen upstairs in a timber home, can make running a new gas line or siting LPG cylinders a specific job, and the subtropical humidity means outdoor gas fittings and cylinders are chosen to resist corrosion. The warm climate means gas is used for cooking far more than heating here, so a cooktop is the main gas appliance in many Brisbane kitchens. A rangehood for ventilation of the combustion by-products is part of the job. Service labour near the national baseline keeps the gas fitter's cost a touch below the southern capitals.
A gas cooktop must be installed and connected by a licensed gas fitter in Queensland, because gas work is strictly licensed for safety, with gas-fitting licensing under the state regulator, and connecting gas yourself is illegal and dangerous. For a Brisbane home, the clearest way to price a gas cooktop installation is by the gas connection, mains or bottled LPG, plus the cooktop and ventilation.
