Whether you're updating your kitchen or simply replacing an old appliance that's finally decided to retire, fitting a new oven or hob is one of those jobs that's best left to a qualified electrician.
At RW Electrics Ltd, replacing built-in ovens and electric hobs is one of the many small electrical jobs we regularly carry out for homeowners across Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas.
It's a straightforward job when done correctly - but getting it wrong can have serious consequences.
It's Not Just Plugging It In
Many modern electric ovens and hobs require more than simply plugging into a socket. They are often connected to a dedicated cooker circuit and depending on the model can draw a significant amount of electrical current.
Incorrect installation can lead to:
- Overloaded circuits
- Loose or overheating electrical connections
- Damage to your new appliance
- Increased risk of electric shock or electrical fire
It's simply not worth risking your expensive new kitchen appliance to save a little money on installation.
Every Installation Is Different
Not all replacement appliances are exactly the same as the ones they're replacing.
Before fitting a new oven or hob I always check:
- The existing electrical circuit is suitable
- Cable sizes are correct
- Protective devices and fuse board connections are adequat
- Isolation switches are working correctly
- The appliance is safely connected and fully tested before use
Sometimes a replacement is straightforward. Other times, upgrades are needed to ensure everything complies with current electrical standards and operates safely.
Modern Appliances, Modern Safety
Today's cooking appliances are generally far more energy efficient than older models, but they can also have different electrical requirements.
A professional installation ensures your new appliance performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, giving you peace of mind every time you switch it on.
After all, the only thing that should be heating up is tonight's dinner - not the wiring hidden behind your kitchen units!
