Do You Need a Cooker Circuit?
If you are buying a hardwired cooker or hob, you must have a dedicated circuit. Here is how to check in under a minute.
How to Check Your Fuse Box
Look at the breaker labels inside your consumer unit. If you already have a cooker circuit, there will be a breaker labelled "Cooker". It is a completely separate circuit — it powers your cooker and nothing else. Cookers draw a large amount of power and cannot safely share a circuit with other appliances. If your fuse box looks dated, read our guide on 7 signs your fuse box needs upgrading before booking a new circuit.
You already have a circuit. A straight swap costs £100.
You need a new circuit first. We install from £400 then connect your appliance.

What a New Cooker Circuit Includes
Types of Cooker We Install
Not sure what you have or what you need? Here is a plain English guide to every type we install across Liverpool.
Freestanding Electric Cooker
A single unit with hob on top and oven below. Connects to a cooker outlet on the wall. If you already have a freestanding cooker, a like-for-like swap costs £100.
Separate Oven and Hob
A built-in oven in a housing unit and a separate hob in the worktop. Both require their own connections. We recommend separate circuits so if one trips, the other still works.
Induction Hob
The most efficient and safest way to cook. 13A versions plug in, 32A versions are hardwired. For a full-power induction hob a dedicated 32A circuit with 6mm cable is required.
Range Cooker
Electric range cookers require a dedicated circuit. Dual fuel ranges need an electrician for the oven and a Gas Safe engineer for the hob. We handle the electrical side completely.
Why You Need a Qualified Electrician
Cooker and hob installation is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Here is why it matters.
Electric cooker and hob installation is notifiable under Part P Building Regulations. Work must be certified by a registered electrician. Uncertified work can invalidate your home insurance and cause problems when selling. Read our guide on how to choose the right electrician in Liverpool.
Manufacturers specify that installation must be carried out by a qualified person to keep the warranty valid. The Health and Safety Executive is clear that electrical work must be carried out competently. If your new cooker is connected incorrectly, your warranty is void from day one.
Victorian terraces in Anfield, Edwardian semis in Mossley Hill and 1960s builds across West Derby may have wiring that needs assessing before a new circuit is installed. We identify and quote any issues upfront.
We protect your worktops, floors and units throughout. Cables are chased neatly where needed and everything is left clean and ready to use when we leave.

CALL 07399 676656Hob and Oven: What You Need to Know
The most common questions we get asked before an induction hob or built-in oven installation in Liverpool.
Which Induction Hob Do You Have?
Induction hobs come in two types. A 13A hob has a standard UK plug and connects to a normal socket. This limits the total power available and you may not be able to run all rings at full power simultaneously.
A 32A hob is hardwired and requires a dedicated circuit with a 32-amp breaker and 6mm cable. It gives the full power of the hob across all rings at the same time. For serious cooking, a 32A hob on its own circuit is the right choice.
Can My Hob and Oven Share?
In theory yes, if the combined load stays within safe limits. A 3kW oven and 3kW hob together sit well within a 32-amp circuit before diversity is applied.
We always recommend separate circuits. If one appliance trips the breaker, the other stays available. Separate circuits cost more upfront but give much more reliability long term.
Upgrading Your Current Hob
Check whether your current hob is on its own dedicated circuit before buying a higher-powered replacement. If it shares a circuit and your new hob has a higher power rating, you may exceed the safe capacity of that circuit.
We check this for free on the day. If an upgrade is needed we advise upfront and quote before any work begins. No surprises ever. If your consumer unit also needs attention, read our guide on fuseboard upgrade costs in Liverpool.
Cooker Hood Installation Liverpool
We install all types of cooker hood and kitchen extractor fan across Liverpool. From a simple swap to a brand new installation.
Carbon Filter Hood
Filters air through carbon and returns it to the kitchen. No external ductwork needed. Ideal for kitchens where external venting is not practical. We install the electrical connection and fused spur.
Externally Vented Hood
Vents cooking fumes directly outside through a duct. More effective than recirculating models. We handle the electrical connection and fused spur. Ductwork quoted separately where required.
Replacing an Existing Hood
A like-for-like swap is quick if the existing connection is in the right position. If the new hood is a different type or size we may need to relocate the fused spur. We assess and quote before starting.
Planning a New Kitchen in Liverpool?
Getting the electrical planning right before your kitchen goes in saves significant time and cost later. Here is what to think about before the units are fitted.
Plan cooker position before plastering
Once kitchen units are in, running a new cooker circuit becomes much more disruptive and expensive. Plan the position of your hob and oven before any building work starts.
Separate circuits for hob and oven
If the budget allows, install separate circuits from the start. Retrofitting a second circuit after units are fitted is costly and intrusive.
Install 32A cable from day one
If you might want a full-power induction hob now or in the future, install the 6mm cable and 32A breaker now. Upgrading later means redoing the entire cable run.
We advise at the design stage
We visit Liverpool kitchens at the planning stage at no charge. We advise on circuit positions, cable routes and ensure the final install meets building regulations.
Cooker Installation Reviews Liverpool
What Liverpool homeowners say about our cooker and hob installation work
New Neff induction hob arrived from AO on a Tuesday morning. Called Ideal Electrical and they were here by 2pm the same day. They installed a new 32A dedicated circuit from our fuse box in Wavertree, fitted the isolation switch, connected the hob and had it working within 2 hours. Part P certificate through by email that evening. Brilliant same-day service.
Had a new Bosch built-in oven and ceramic hob installed in our Aigburth kitchen renovation. Ideal Electrical put them on separate circuits as recommended, which the kitchen fitter confirmed was the right approach. Everything was done neatly, cables hidden behind the units, and the finish was very professional. Fixed price, no surprises on the day.
Quick freestanding cooker swap in our Woolton terrace. Old cooker disconnected and new Beko connected in under an hour. The electrician noticed the isolation switch was worn and replaced it at no extra charge. Certificate issued on the day. Very professional and great value. Would definitely use Ideal Electrical again.

Cooker Installation Questions Liverpool
Straight answers about electric cooker, oven and hob installation in Liverpool.
COSTHow much does cooker installation cost in Liverpool?
A straight cooker swap costs £100. A new cooker circuit costs from £400. The full package including circuit and appliance connection costs from £450 with a Part P certificate on the same day. If your consumer unit is also outdated, read our guide on fuseboard upgrade costs in Liverpool.
CIRCUITDo I need a cooker circuit for an electric cooker?
Yes. Any hardwired electric cooker or hob requires a dedicated circuit. Check your fuse box for a breaker labelled Cooker. If there is one, a swap costs £100. If not, we install a new circuit from £400. If your fuse box looks dated, read our guide on 7 signs your fuse box needs upgrading before booking.
HOB AND OVENCan my hob and oven share a circuit?
They can if the combined load stays within 32 amps. We always recommend separate circuits though. If one trips, the other still works. A hob uses a 32-amp breaker with 6mm cable. An oven can run on a 20-amp breaker with 2.5mm cable.
LEGALCan I install an electric cooker myself?
No. Electric cooker and hob installation is notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations and must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Incorrect installation voids your warranty, can invalidate your home insurance and creates a safety risk. Read our guide on how to choose an electrician in Liverpool to make sure you pick the right one.
INDUCTIONDo you install induction hobs in Liverpool?
Yes. We install all types of induction hob. According to the Energy Saving Trust, induction hobs are the most energy-efficient cooking method available. A 32A induction hob requires a dedicated 6mm circuit and 32A breaker. A 13A hob plugs into a standard socket but performance is limited. We advise on the best setup when we visit and can attend the same day if a circuit is already in place.
HOODSDo you install cooker hoods?
Yes. We install carbon filter recirculating hoods and externally vented extraction hoods from £80. All require a fused connection unit. Ductwork for vented hoods is quoted separately if needed.

Induction Hob Installation Liverpool: Plan Before Your Kitchen Goes In
Induction hobs are increasingly the first choice for Liverpool homeowners doing a kitchen renovation. They are faster, safer with children and far easier to clean than ceramic or gas alternatives. The key is getting the electrical planning right before units go in. A 32A induction hob needs a dedicated circuit with 6mm cable. If that cable is not in place before the units are fitted, retrofitting it becomes significantly more disruptive and expensive.
We advise Liverpool homeowners at the planning stage for free. The HSE guidance on electrical safety is clear that all cooker wiring must be carried out by a competent person. Call us before your kitchen renovation starts and we will make sure the electrical specification is correct from day one.
