2) Can an Electric Hob be installed on a plug?

Many electric hob manufacturers are now creating hobs that are able to be plugged directly into a wall socket. If you require a new plug socket fitted in order to accommodate the installation of your new hob then we are able to assist with this. 
There are some downsides to having an electric hob running from a plug top though so let’s have a look at those. 

Lack of Power

Most electrical hobs need a 7 Kilowatt supply in order to function at their best. 7000 watts is a lot of power and in order to have all 4 rings functioning effectively they typically need a big beefy power supply. 

Plug Top Installation

Installing a 7 Kilowatt electric hob on a 13 amp plug will limit the available power to 3000 watts. This can mean that you have issues getting 4 pans to boil or cook food at the same time. The other issue that can occur is overheating of the plug over time creating a possible fire risk. 

3) Do I have a 7 Kilowatt Supply already?

The best way to establish if you have a suitable supply for your electric hob is to get in touch. If you are prepared to email or WhatsApp some photographs over to us, we can have a look for you in seconds to establish if a new power supply might be needed. 

If you already have a suitable power supply in place then we are able to easily connect the hob for you and test everything is safe once installed. 

4) What if I DON’T have a suitable power supply?

If you existing power supply is inadequate then we will quote to install a suitable electric circuit to power the hob. The costs for this can vary so its best to contact us so we can check what your electrical system is capable of. 

5) Can you install a Hob on an Oven Supply?

In some cases, the electrical supply to your oven can also be used to safely power your electric hob. There are some checks that we need to do before adding on to an existing electrical circuit to make sure that regulations and safety requirements are followed but we will always let you know what needs to be done.
