Electric Cooker Wiring

[Burt Stormberger]

Hi guys,

I need to replace the free standing electric cooker in my property.

The new cooker will be of a similar power output as the existing cooker so it will be a like for like replacement.

Am I permitted by the regs to remove the old cooker and connect the new cooker to the mains? I understand electrics and the simple task that it is to remove the connections from the old cooker, connect them up to the new one and perform a continuity check.

I just need to know if I can legally do this or if I need a Part P qualified electrician to do it for me.

Thanks!

Nothing to stop you fitting a new cooker. In fact kitchen in England is not longer a special location.
