Electric cooker installation
Find out everything you need to know about our electric cooker installation service.
Our fully trained team are ready get your new electric cooker set up on delivery day for just £100. We’ll even disconnect your old cooker for you. We’re approved by the NICEIC (that’s the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) who’re one of the UK’s best electrical assessors, so you know we set high standards. Find out what’s included in this service and what you can do to prepare for us.
What we'll do
When we get there, we’ll disconnect your old cooker and unpack your new one. No problem. Don’t worry about cables. We’ll bring everything we need to get your new cooker installed.
We’ll attach a safety chain (the thing that keeps the cooker stable) and then make sure the cooker’s level. Our electric cooker installation is available at commercial properties, but only if the voltage is the same as domestic properties (220-240v).
We’ll take at least 8 pictures during installation, just so we’ve got a record of the service.
Picked our Remove & Recycle service? We’ll take away your old cooker when we leave.
What you need to do
The space around your hob is called the Hot Zone and you need to make sure it has no switches or a cooker hood above it. There also needs to be a gap of at least 65cm between your hob and the cooker hood or ceiling above. If it isn’t clear of hazards, we may not be able to install your cooker. Make sure you follow pre-installation instructions for your cooker from the product manufacturer’s website.
Make sure your current electrical connection (plug socket or big red switch) matches what your new cooker needs. If your new cooker is over 3kw, then you’ll need a 16Amp or 32Amp fuse - a big red switch. If your new cooker is below 3kw, then you’ll only need a standard 13Amp fuse – a regular plug socket. Compare what you have with the details of your new cooker on the Key Information tab on our product pages to make sure you’re all set.
Let us know if you’re switching from a gas cooker to a new electric cooker in the basket. If you are, then we’ll send one of our qualified Gas Safe engineers to take care of installation. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you a penny more.
While you’re on the Product Detail section on our product pages, it’s worth checking the dimensions of your new cooker, just to make sure you’ve got enough space in your kitchen.
