Hi, Our existing single electric oven has died and i want to replace it but current one uses a 13 amp plug. How easy is it to replace this with an oven which needs to be hardwired in? We are def amateurs in the electrical world but not daft and can follow simple instructions....

un plugging existing one would be a good start.
telling us the rating of new one would also be a good idea

When you say it needs to be hard wired, do you mean it needs more than a 13Amp supply? In that case, it needs a separate circuit. Is it a double oven, or very big?
If you already have a Cooker Circuit to your kitchen, it may be suitable.
Do you have a Gas hob, or electric?
p.s. I assume that when you say "oven" you mean "oven" and not "cooker?"

apologies for not being more specific, I'm looking at several options off ebay and have been advised by the sellers that most need 'hardwiring'. i assume from this that they need more than a 13 amp supply but don't want to end up with something i can't fit myself. there's currently no seperate cooker circuit - just a plug socket. and yes, tis only the electric single oven as we've got a gas hob. any advice on what to choose would be very much appreciated.

Just buy another 13 amp oven, plenty to choose from.....
You can't fit it yourself if it needs more than 13A and you have no cooker circuit.
A single oven is usually less than 13A.
A double oven is usually more.
If you have no cooker circuit you will not be able to fit an electric hob, but that's OK as gas ones are better.

I've managed to get hold of an oven - Hotpoint BS22 electric fan oven. seller doesn't know what wattage this is and i can't find any info on this on the hotpoint site.
does anyone else know if I can connect this to a 13amp plug and run off a normal socket?
