Why you should get an electrician to install your electric hob

If it’s time to treat yourself and your cooking to a new electric hob, it’s important to get the right person for the job. Otherwise you’ll risk damage to your new appliance, your home’s wiring and even the worktops, extractor fan and cabinets.

A Part P qualified electrician is certified to do work in and around your home. They’ll do the installation within local and national safety regulations to make sure both you and your home are protected.

Your electrician will check if there’s a safe distance between the hob and other kitchen appliances to avoid heat damage later on. They’ll make sure the plate’s frequency and voltage match the household supply and click the hob into position so that it seals properly. They’ll then connect it to the mains and test the hob before they go.
