What is a Freestanding Electric Oven?
Example of a freestanding electric oven (combining an oven and stovetop in one unit). A freestanding electric oven (also known as a stove, range, or cooker) is a kitchen appliance that combines an oven and a cooktop into one standalone unit. Because the oven and burners are integrated, you don’t need separate installations for a cooktop and a wall oven – a freestanding oven conveniently offers both in one appliance.
Unlike built-in ovens that must be fitted into cabinetry, a freestanding oven stands on its own and can be moved or slotted into place wherever you have a suitable space.
These units come in standard widths (commonly 60 cm or 90 cm) to fit typical kitchen layouts, and provide an all-in-one solution for baking, roasting, and stovetop cooking.
Why Choose a Freestanding Electric Oven?
Freestanding electric ovens are popular for both kitchen renovations and replacements because of their versatility and convenience. Here are some key benefits of choosing a freestanding electric oven for your home:
- Easy Installation & Replacement: Freestanding ovens are very easy to install since they are not built into your cabinets – essentially, the unit just slides into place without special carpentry. This makes replacing an old oven straightforward (just remove the old unit and wire in the new one) and reduces installation hassle.
- Flexible Placement: Because they stand on their own and aren’t a permanent fixture of the cabinetry, you have flexibility in where to position a freestanding oven. This is great if you’re redesigning your kitchen – you can plan other elements around the oven, knowing it can be moved into the desired spot when ready.
- All-in-One Appliance: A freestanding electric oven provides both an oven and a cooktop in one package. This saves space and often cost, as you don’t need to buy a separate stove and oven. It’s ideal for smaller kitchens or anyone who wants a single, consolidated cooking appliance.
- Large Cooking Capacity: Many freestanding ovens, especially the 90 cm wide models, offer a very spacious oven interior. This is perfect for large families or avid cooks – you can roast multiple dishes at once or cook big holiday meals easily. (For example, larger units can fit two large turkeys or several trays of food simultaneously.)
- Standard Sizes Fit Kitchens: Freestanding ovens come in standard sizes (most commonly around 600 mm width for standard models) so they fit into the typical oven/stove cutout in most kitchens. If you’re replacing an existing freestanding or upright oven, the new one will usually slot right into the same space without needing cabinet modifications.
A freestanding electric oven is an excellent choice when you want an easy-to-install, versatile, and family-friendly cooking appliance that covers all your baking and stovetop needs.
Our Freestanding Oven Supply & Installation Service
At Elix Electrical Services, we provide an end-to-end service for freestanding electric oven supply and installation in Sydney. Our goal is to make upgrading your oven convenient and stress-free. When you choose us, you can count on:
Supply & Delivery: We can supply your new freestanding electric oven or advise on models that suit your needs. Once you’ve selected the oven (whether through us or a retailer), we’ll arrange delivery to your home. No need to lift a finger – we’ll ensure the appliance arrives safely.
- Professional Installation: Our licensed electricians handle the complete installation. This includes positioning the oven in place, leveling it (so cooking trays sit evenly), and connecting it to the electrical supply according to Australian standards. We’ll secure the oven (including anti-tilt brackets or safety chains if required) so that it’s stable and safe to use.
- Electrical Hookup & Upgrades: We take care of all the necessary electrical work. If a new outlet, dedicated circuit, or isolation switch is needed for your oven, our team can install it on the spot. (See Electrical Requirements below for more on this.) We ensure all wiring and connections are done correctly and safely by a qualified professional – no DIY wiring risks for you.
- Testing & Commissioning: After installation, we test the oven and cooktop thoroughly. This includes checking that all heating elements, burners, lights, and controls function properly. We’ll turn on the oven to make sure it heats to the right temperature and test each stove burner or hotplate. Only when we are satisfied that everything is working perfectly do we consider the job complete.
- Old Appliance Removal: Upgrading from an older unit? We’ve got you covered. Our service includes removing your old oven if you need, and we’ll dispose of it safely and responsibly. We’ll also clean up any packaging or installation debris, leaving your kitchen tidy.
By offering the full package – supply, delivery, installation, testing, and disposal – Elix Electrical Services makes it easy for you to get your new freestanding electric oven up and running with minimal disruption.

- Consultation & Preparation

Throughout this process, safety and quality workmanship are our top priorities. We adhere strictly to NSW electrical codes and the manufacturer’s installation guidelines at every step.
Electrical Requirements & Safety Considerations
Installing a freestanding electric oven isn’t just about plugging it in – these appliances typically use a lot of power, so certain electrical requirements must be met. Rest assured, Elix Electrical Services will handle all of this as part of the installation:
- Dedicated Circuit: In most cases, an electric oven should be on its own dedicated circuit due to its high wattage. This means the oven has a circuit breaker or fuse in your switchboard that isn’t shared with other appliances. We will check if your current oven outlet is on a dedicated circuit. If not, and if the oven’s power draw requires it, we can install a new dedicated circuit to safely supply it. This prevents overloads and tripping of your electrical system when the oven is in use.
- Amperage and Wiring: Standard freestanding ovens often require a 15 amp or 20 amp outlet (in Australia, a normal general-purpose outlet is 10 amp, which may not be sufficient for a large oven). Larger ovens or those with multiple cooking zones can draw even more current. Our licensed electrician will ensure the wiring to the oven is of the correct gauge and that the circuit breaker is rated appropriately (for example, a 32A circuit if needed for a very large electric range). If the existing wiring is old or undersized, we’ll upgrade it during installation.
- Safety Switch (RCD): Modern electrical standards require that oven circuits are protected by a residual current device (RCD, commonly known as a safety switch) for additional safety. If your switchboard does not have an RCD on the oven circuit, we can add one or upgrade the breaker to an RCBO. This protection quickly cuts power in the event of any leakage or fault, greatly reducing the risk of electric shock.
- Isolation Switch: In some kitchen setups, an extra isolator switch is installed for the oven/cooktop (allowing you to cut power to the appliance from within the kitchen, in case of an emergency or for service). If your new oven’s installation would benefit from an accessible isolation switch and you don’t have one, we can discuss adding it. It’s not always mandatory for electric ovens, but it can be a useful safety feature.
Compliance: All electrical work we perform will comply with Australian Standards and local regulations. We issue a compliance certificate for our electrical installation. This gives you peace of mind that your new oven is not only working, but it’s safe and meets code requirements. We take your safety seriously – we won’t compromise on proper procedure, even if it’s “just” swapping an oven.
By ensuring all these electrical requirements are addressed, we make certain that your freestanding electric oven operates reliably and safely for years to come. Our expertise in both ovens and general electrical work means we can handle any necessary upgrades as part of the installation, saving you the hassle of hiring multiple tradespeople.
Freestanding Electric Oven – Pricing Guidance
We understand that cost is an important factor when considering a new oven purchase and installation. While we provide personalised quotes for each job (since every installation can differ), here are some general pricing guidelines to help you plan:
- Cost of the Oven: Freestanding electric ovens vary in price based on size, brand, and features. Basic 60cm wide models start at a few hundred dollars, whereas premium models (larger 90cm sizes, or with advanced features like pyrolytic self-cleaning or induction cooktops) can cost a couple of thousand dollars. For example, standard electric ovens in Australia can range from around $330 for entry-level models up to $3,000+ for high-end brands. Elix Electrical can help supply quality ovens within your budget or install an oven you have purchased from any retailer.
- Installation Labor Cost: Our professional installation service is competitively priced. The cost for installation typically depends on the complexity of the job. If it’s a straightforward replacement (old oven out, new oven in with no wiring changes), the cost will be on the lower end. More complex scenarios (such as needing a new circuit or switchboard upgrade) will cost more due to the additional work and materials. Generally speaking, electric oven installations in Australia range roughly from $200 to $400 for a standard job, assuming existing wiring is adequate. Simple swap-overs can even be a bit less; conversely, installations that require significant electrical upgrades could be a few hundred dollars more. Typical oven install prices in Sydney average about $105 – $390 for labour. We will assess your specific situation and give you a clear, upfront quote before starting any work.
- Additional Costs: If additional electrical work is needed (for example, running a new circuit, installing an outlet, or upgrading your switchboard), we will include those in your quote. We strive to keep any extra costs reasonable and will discuss them with you in advance. There are no surprise fees – you’ll know exactly what the project will cost. We also include the removal of the old oven in our service; disposal fees (if any) will be clarified upfront, though generally we handle basic disposal at no extra charge for our customers.
Please note: The above figures are general estimates for guidance. For an accurate price, it’s best to contact us for a tailored quote. Our pricing is transparent and competitive with other providers. In fact, major appliance retailers often charge a flat fee for installing a new oven (usually in the range of $239–$299 for basic installs), and our rates are in line with these while offering the advantage of a fully licensed electrician’s expertise and personalized service.
Save with a package deal: When you use Elix Electrical Services to both supply and install your freestanding oven, we may be able to offer a better overall package price. Be sure to ask about any current promotions or bundle discounts when you call.
Investing in a professional installation ensures your oven is set up correctly and safely – which protects your appliance and your home. It’s well worth the one-time cost to have peace of mind and a warranty-backed installation. We also provide documentation (invoice and compliance certificate) that you can keep for your records or home insurance.
