How long does installation take?

Standard Electric Oven: Installing a new electric oven typically takes 1-2 hours, including basic wiring.

Induction Hob: Induction hobs generally take 1-3 hours to install, depending on electrical requirements and adjustments.

Gas to Electric Transition: Switching from a gas hob to an electric hob may require 2-4 hours due to gas disconnection and rewiring.

How difficult is it to move from gas to electric?

Moving from a gas hob to an electric induction hob can involve extra steps, such as safely disconnecting the gas supply and ensuring the correct electrical circuit is available. A certified electrician is needed for both tasks to guarantee a safe and compliant installation. While this process is straightforward for a qualified professional, it may require additional time and cost, especially if new wiring or adjustments to the circuit are needed.
