We have recently refurbished our kitchen and only have the cooker to replace. We have a freestanding electric cooker at the moment but we wish to replace this with a built-in oven and hob. We purchased an electric oven and hob thinking we could use the existing socket for the oven and add a new one for the hob. However we have been told conflicting advice about this.
A Currys installer said it would be fine but a friend of a friend said we would need to run a new line from the main fuse box (I am no electrician and have no idea). I would be very grateful for help.
Would it be less costly to exchange the electric hob and buy a gas one and get that installed as we have a capped gas pipe very close to where the oven and hob will be?
Thanks,
Chris
