The cooktop's requirements
The 30-inch (the 2.5's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 30-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 2026 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 30's), the 30 (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's).
Gas and electrical
The 30-amp (the 30's — the 2.5's; the 2026's), the 240V (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's), the 1/2-inch (the 30's — the 2.5's; the gas'), the 2026 (the 30's — the 30's; the 1/2's), the 30 (the 30's — the 1/2's; the 2026's), and the 2.5 (the 30's — the 30's; the 2026's).

Cooktops (30-inch/2.5-ft typical) need gas and electrical permits in ~80% of jurisdictions in 2026 ($75-$300; 30-amp/240V, 1/2-in gas) — budget $800-$3,000+; downdraft venting is the real gate.
