changing from gas hob to electric hob

Would be a big help if we knew what kw rating the new hob is? Hobs don’t usually plug in. The plug that was serving your old gas hob just did the ignition spark. I suspect you will have to have a separate supply put in for the hob due to loading issues. Therefore you will need to get an electrician involved.

There is no reason you couldn't keep your old gas hob or replace for a new one if your prefer gas. its a relatively small job to alter the pipework if needed £65-£80 I'd imagine would be the average price, I have done many of these type of alterations my self with no problem. It may actually cost more for an electric hob to be installed if a new power supply is needed. I would at least try the new oven in position first as you may find that changing the hob is unnecessary all together. That said as a gas fitter, I prefer induction hobs to gas as there easy to keep clean and much safer if you have any children as the surface only heats up if a pan is on them, but don't forget you may need new pots and pans as aluminum ones wont work on them.

If your oven is currently using the exist 32A supply and you want an electric hob the a new 6mm cable will need to be installed as an electric hob will draw up to 25A (an induction hob over 30A). Installing an additional 6mm cable will greatly increase your options as what to have.

You ll need new wire cable 6mm and use it on 32A Fuse
