Cooker circuit installation

A cooker circuit is the separate, heavier circuit your induction hob, range or oven runs on. We run it from the fuse box and connect the appliance to the manufacturer's diagram.

Cooker circuit installation: how we work

Why separate

Cooking appliances briefly draw a lot of power. Share that circuit with the fridge and the lighting and the breaker trips at the worst possible moment. A dedicated circuit with the right cable size prevents it.

What rating

That depends on the appliance: a narrow hob asks less than a wide range with an oven. We look at the rating plate and choose cable and breaker accordingly, not by feel.

When the gas goes

If the gas cooker goes out, an oven, an extractor and sometimes a heat pump usually follow. We calculate the whole kitchen, so you do not have to open the board again in a year.

Connect and verify

After installation we connect the appliance to the diagram, check the links on the terminal block and test the circuit. Then we try every zone or burner.

Frequently asked questions about cooker circuit installation

Question not answered here? Call or message us and we will think it through with you, free of charge.

Is a cooker circuit the same as a perilex?

Not quite. The cooker circuit is the circuit in the fuse box; the perilex is the type of socket at the end. They often go together, but not always.

Can the cooker share an existing circuit?

Better not. Even where it fits technically, you risk the breaker tripping while you are cooking.

What if the board is full?

Then we look at whether a circuit can be added or replacing the board is smarter. A photo of the open board shows us.

Will you connect an appliance I bought myself?

Yes. Send us the make and model in advance and we will know what connection is needed.
