Installation costs depends. Just physically installing in the unit in a counter top with a correctly sized hole is super easy. You just drop it in, tighten up a couple hold down fixtures, and connect the 2 hot leads wires and the ground. The big installation issues are the counter top hole size, the wiring to the unit and appropriate circuit breaker. This design has a wider range of acceptable cut out sizes than most and can fit into cut out holes from 281/8" to 291/4" wide and 195/8th to 201/2" deep. I had thought about buying a unit I could flush mount by cutting a lip in the granite, but I'm very happy with how this unit sits and looks. The big installation issue is that this unit ( and most other induction units too) needs a strong electrical connection with wiring and breaker big enough for a 45Amp, 240Volt service. I pulled No. 6 wires (thick and heavy), but No. 8 (easier to install) should also meet code. If your present installation is for a gas cook top that only needs a normal outlet with 15-20A 120V service, or even if your present cook top is an electric unit that only has 30 to 35 Amp 240V service you will need to put in new wiring and a new breaker, or call an electrician to do it for you. I spent about $100 on wires and parts, and about a day to pull the wires, put in junction boxes and a new breaker, but I'm pretty inexpensive on my own projects. I'd guess an electrician would need to get a permit, and would have taken a day to do my job. My guess is that it might have cost about the same as the cook top. But, just listen to my sweetheart - that cook top is wonderful! So easy to clean, to control and use, and so blazing fast to heat. Made me a hero!
