New electric oven conection

Question

I would like to change my old electric oven for a new one, however my old one is connected directly into a fused connection unit, while the new one is coming with a plug. How much will it cost to change it, please?

Stephen · Accepted Answer

This would cost no more than 20 pound, where are you based, this includes labour and materials

Thomas · Answer

I’d say roughly £30 as it’s just a straight forward changeover

Albie · Answer

you have to make the original socket outlet safe by disconnection the cables .
Also fitting a new socket outlet to take the plug from the cooker, usually under the worktop so will involve routing the cable from a different source

£100

It depends who does it. Companies like John Lewis insist on certain criteria such as a special device called an RCD, and a reliable earth. If those are in place then I think they charge around £85. They will refuse if you don’t have those in place. 

Someone private like myself(Electrician), will still check for safety but we will usually find a work around solution. If it’s a standard connection you would expect to pay around £50-£85.

Hi Nicole.

I would imagine an electrician would charge around £65 for this.

Mike · Answer

You would be looking around £50 depending on the area

Hi,

A socket can be installed to replace the fused connection unit. Your cooker will/should be on it's own circuit, connected directly to your consumer unit so fitting a socket is a straight forward job. 

You should expect to pay about £80.00 to £90.00 for this work if your existing set up is as it should be.

Regards,
David

An Electrician could either replace the fused connection unit with a single socket or cut the plug off the new oven and connect it into the fused connection unit-once the old unit has been removed of course.
The charge would be a minimum call-out fee £50-£80 depending on how far the Electrician would have to travel.

Luay · Answer

We need to fit new socket for the new oven, so the cost would be just £ 60.

Dear Miss Nicole
Honestly, i should see your fused connection unit before giving cost.But ı can give average cost to you. We will need one switch plug for changing. we can say £50 except switch plug price.
Thank you

Hi this is Raja from AR Electricals, I can upgrade the cooker socket  and you plug straight in to the socket, whenever you wants to move the cooker for cleaning unplug your self and put it back, I can do it for £99 thank you

Steven · Answer

An easy job for an Electrician, should only cost £30 supply and fit. The correct wiring should already be there, simply changing to a plug to adapt to the new cooker.
