Changing gas hob for an electric hob

Your best bet is to ask an electrician to come and have a look to look at what sort of supply you have to the existing oven.

Electrician is a must to check and install. Cable size and power output including voltage drop of hob will need to be calculated including Fuse rating.

It may be possible for the cooker and hob to go on the same circuit, however that is dependent on several factors. The rating of the MCB in the Consumer Unit and whether it is sufficient to cover the additional demand, also what cable size supplies the existing point and how far it is from the consumer unit. The maximum rating in Amps of the oven and cooker will need to be added together to see if the circuit is rated high enough to withstand the extra load.

You would need to calculate the load of both the hob and cooker assuming all rings and oven all using full power then check 1 the current rating for the electrical cable. 2.Check to protective device to make sure this would disconnect in the event of a fault and has the correct rating for the appliances using the circuit. Make sure that the electrician supplied a certificate for the work completed.

Depends how old your oven is and the wiring. As already posted by others, cabling and MCB need to be checked. Most modern hobs are lower energy so can be connected quite safely to the same supply. If checking proves compatibility, get an electrician to supply and fit a junction box to allow the single supply to power both. It shouldn’t cost much, but only do it yourself if you are competent with electrics.
