An IP currently has a gas cooktop that is broken . It's only 5 years old (Blanco unit) and the burners have stopped working (but the gas can be smelt ) What would you recommend as a replacement? I may be moving into it in the future - cheap $250 gas cooktop . Omega OG60XA - stay with blanco to match the oven. $414 Blanco CG604WXFFC. Should a gas cooktop only last 5 years ? Can I write the old cooktop off if I have a depriciation schedule ( scrap it ) How much is the going rate to install a gas cooktop and get rid of the old one ? 2nds world will do the whole lot for $150 incl delivery How urgently do I have to replace this . Do I have to reduce the tenants rent ?
if you've got a tenant there and a company that will deliver and install for a reasonable price I'd go ahead and get it done straight away. as for the actual top, don't go a complete cheapie, what's an extra $100/150 especially if you're going to be moving in and if it means getting a hopefully longer lasting one than your typical entry level top.
You have good 5 years off the cooktop already. Buy a good one (not the cheapest) to replace it. Shouldn't cost much to install it.
They're both entry level. I'm also questioning the brand quality as its only 5 years old . Also, the igniter is broken so that's why they don't light up. Is this even worth repairing or should I just get a whole new cooktop
wait it's just the ignition? if you turn the knob does it light with the aid of a lighter or matches? if so it should be a fairy simple fix. a bit odd that all 4 burners would be be affected at once though.
I'm not too sure on that. Also thought it was off that all 4 burners were affected at once . Perhaps they all operate on one igniter ?
has anyone been out to see it? could be tenant exaggerating or PM misinterpreting the extent of the issue.
Hi guys, On the topic of cook tops and ovens. Planning to replace my current old one for our home. Anyone recommended any good brands? Cheers, Peter
