When do you need a Cooker installation?
This service is needed when you purchase a new cooker, replace an old one, or move into a property where a cooker needs to be fitted. It is a legal requirement for gas cookers to be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
What happens on the day
The engineer will unpackage your new cooker, safely disconnect and remove your old one if applicable, and then correctly connect the new appliance to the gas and/or electricity supply. They will test it thoroughly and issue any required safety certificates.
How to prepare
- Ensure the new cooker is present and unpacked (or easily accessible).
- Clear the area where the cooker will be installed.
- Ensure access to the gas isolation valve and electrical spur.
- Read your new cooker's manual for any specific installation notes.
- Have your old cooker disconnected and ready for removal if you're replacing it.
How to improve your result
- Always ensure your cooker is installed by a qualified professional (Gas Safe for gas, qualified electrician for electric).
- Keep the area around your cooker clear to prevent fire hazards.
- Regularly clean your cooker to maintain its appearance and hygiene.
- Check your cooker's settings and functions to get the most out of your appliance.
