Top tips

Hiring a electrician, without the regret.

Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.

Undersized Cabling

Using a 4mm cable for a high-power range cooker that requires 6mm or 10mm, leading to tripped breakers or melted wires.

Inaccessible Isolator

Installing the safety switch behind the cooker or inside a cupboard where it cannot be reached quickly in an emergency.

Incorrect Fuse Rating

Fitting a 32A breaker for an appliance that requires a 45A supply, causing frequent power cuts during Sunday roasts.

Poor Levelling

A cooker that isn't perfectly level will cause oil to pool on one side of the pan, leading to uneven cooking and potential safety risks.

Costs & timeline

Know what it costs. Know when it ends.
