Cooker and Hob Electrical Work in Chester

Electric ovens and hobs can represent a significant load, so the circuit needs to be suitable for the appliance and the way it will be installed. Existing cooker circuits are not automatically suitable for every new appliance.

Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions installs and alters electrical supplies for cookers, ovens and electric hobs across Chester and surrounding areas, including work during kitchen refurbishments.

Cooker and hob work can include

  • New dedicated cooker circuits
  • Relocating existing cooker supplies
  • Cooker control units and connection points
  • Electric oven and hob connections
  • Circuit alterations during kitchen refurbishment
  • Inspection, testing and certification

Check the Circuit Before the Kitchen Is Finished

Cooker & Hob Installation Chester FAQs

Can a new hob use my existing cooker circuit?

Possibly, but the appliance rating, cable size, protective device and other loads on the circuit need to be checked before confirming suitability.

Can an oven and hob share one circuit?

In some installations they can, provided the circuit and connection arrangements are suitably designed for the connected loads. This needs to be assessed rather than assumed.

Can you move a cooker point to another wall?

Yes. The route and cable size need to be considered, and it is usually easiest to arrange this while the kitchen is stripped out.

Do you connect appliances supplied by the customer?

Yes, where the appliance, circuit and connection arrangements are suitable.
