Why Professional Installation is Essential
Most electric cookers require a high-power supply (typically 32 amps) that must be hardwired into your home’s electrical system. This is a complex and potentially dangerous job that falls under “notifiable work” according to UK law. For your safety, and to comply with regulations, you must use a certified electrician who can provide the necessary certification.
We have years of experience with all major appliance brands and will ensure your installation is performed correctly the first time. We test all connections and appliances to guarantee optimal performance and your complete peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cooker Installation in Blackpool
Yes. For cookers over 3kW, which is most modern appliances, you need a dedicated circuit that must be installed by a certified electrician. This work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations.
Yes. Our service includes the safe disconnection and removal of your old electric cooker before we install and connect your new appliance. We ensure all wiring is handled correctly and safely.
A dedicated circuit is a separate electrical line running from your consumer unit (fuse box) directly to the cooker's connection point. It ensures the appliance has its own safe and stable power supply, preventing it from overloading other circuits in your home.
We can handle the electrical wiring for your dual fuel cooker. The gas connection, however, must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We can work in coordination with them to ensure a smooth, compliant installation.
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the job, such as whether a new dedicated circuit is required or if it's a straightforward replacement. We provide a free, no-obligation quote so you know the exact cost upfront.
