What moves the price
- Simple connection or new circuit — swapping a cooker onto an existing cooker circuit is quicker than running a new circuit from the board.
- Distance from the main electrical supply — a longer cable run from the fuse board means more heavy cable and more time routing it.
- Chasing and making good — routing a new cable into plastered walls or under floors adds time to the cooker wiring.
- Type of the appliance — an induction hob or a large range cooker may need heavier wiring.

How to pay less
- If an existing cooker circuit suits the new appliance, a simple reconnection costs far less than a new circuit.
- Having the hob and the oven wired in the same visit costs less than booking separate call-outs for each.
- Choosing a cooker or hob rated for your existing cable can avoid paying for a heavier new circuit; you can ask before you buy.
- Placing the new cooker or hob where the old one stood keeps the cable run short and the wiring job simple.
- Booking the cooker wiring while the kitchen is being fitted, before walls are finished, saves cutting into new plaster later.
Before you book

- Information about the type and model of the cooking appliance being installed.
- Any existing documentation related to your home's electrical system.
- Any specific requirements or concerns about where the new cooker or hob will go.
