Hi, we're looking to get an induction hob installed (currently have gas cooker), and while some can be run on a 13amp plug it doesn't sound ideal as with two or more rings working the available power can be limited.
This is our current meter/fusebox setup, which the builder seemed to think was a bit dated:
View media item 78079
View media item 78080
So...
1) does the fusebox need updating?
2) if we need to install a separate circuit for the induction hob, what would that involve (holes in walls?) and what would the likely cost be?
There is an existing trip switch for 'Cooker Unit' which is set to On, but I don't know what this is for - maybe the previous owners had an electric cooker before they switched to gas.
