Check your connection

Make sure you have the correct supply outlet for the cooker you choose.

For electric cookers, it's important to make sure there's a suitable electrical connection within 1.5 metres of the required location:

32 amp outlets: freestanding electric cookers that consume greater than 3KW

13 amp outlets: single electric cookers / gas ignition supply using less than 2.99KW

For gas cookers:

Make sure there's a live gas supply within 1.5 metres of the required location within the same room. Please note: even if you have gas central heating, it doesn't mean there's a gas supply to the cooker.

Gas cookers with ignition systems and timers require a 13 amp supply. Please make sure one is available within 1.5 metres if applicable.

If you're in an area that uses LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas, in red or blue cylinders outside your house, or a bulb tank that's filled by your gas supplier), you'll need to check the cooker you use can be converted to LPG by one of our Gas Safe engineers. Please contact us on (800) 381-8784 to discuss your specific requirements.

Check the space

Please make sure:

That we have clear access to the area you want your new appliance installed. If stairs are involved, that there's room to manoeuvre.

That the appliance will fit into the space, with enough space at the back and either side of the cooker to allow for ventilation. Check the product specification for the cooker you want to buy.

Check the environment

Please make sure:

That there's no combustible material behind the cooker location. For example, for dual fuel cookers, the area directly above a gas hob must not have any power points, switches, boilers or alarm sensors. Additionally, there must not be any flammable material such as wallpaper, wood, fabric wall coverings, curtains or shelving.

Make sure someone is home

Lastly, it's important to make sure someone is at home to sign for the installation, otherwise we won't be able to complete it.
