Cooker Installation in Liverpool from £100
Cooker swaps from £100. New cooker circuits from £400. Local cooker fitters and hob installers covering every Liverpool postcode. Induction hobs, freestanding cookers, built-in ovens and cooker hoods.
New Cooker Just Arrived?
AO, Currys, John Lewis and Argos will deliver your new cooker and take the old one away. What they will not do is wire it in. That is where we come in.
Bring the appliance in, unbox it, and take the old one away if you paid for that. If your cooker plugs into a normal socket, they may plug it in.
Wire a hardwired cooker or hob into a cooker outlet. That is electrical work under Part P and it needs a registered electrician. Most delivery drivers are not one, so they leave it sitting there.
Your old cooker goes, your new one arrives, and nothing gets connected. We come out and connect it, often the same day. A swap on an existing circuit is £100.
It does not matter where you bought it. AO, Currys, John Lewis, Argos, Amazon or a local shop, we connect it just the same.
What Do You Need?
Three different jobs. Make sure you are looking at the right one before you book.
Swapping an Existing Cooker
You already have a cooker circuit and you want to swap the old cooker, oven or hob for a new one.
- ✓ Old cooker disconnected
- ✓ Up to 3m of new cable if needed
- ✓ New appliance connected and tested
- ✓ Same-day often available
New Cooker Circuit Required
There is no cooker circuit in the house yet. We run a new one from your fuse box, then connect your appliance.
- ✓ 32-amp breaker at consumer unit
- ✓ Up to 25m of 6mm cable
- ✓ Isolation switch fitted
- ✓ Cooker outlet fitted and tested
New Circuit and Appliance
New house, new kitchen, or no cooker circuit at all. We do the circuit and the connection in one visit.
- ✓ Complete new circuit from fuse box
- ✓ Isolation switch and outlet fitted
- ✓ Cooker connected and tested
- ✓ Part P certificate same day
How Much Does Electric Cooker Installation Cost?
Only one thing decides your price: whether the circuit is already there. Here is the whole cost picture in one place.
Why some quotes are £100 and others are £400
This is the whole question. A cooker needs a circuit of its own running back to the fuse box. If you have one, it is a £100 job. If you do not, we have to install one first.
Our £400 covers up to 25m of cable. Most Liverpool homes come in well under that. A long run through a three storey terrace can add to it, and we tell you before we start.
Surface mounted in trunking is quicker. Chasing into plaster takes longer and needs making good. We agree which one you want before any tools come out.
Your board needs a free slot for the new breaker. If it is full or too old to take one, we say so on the day and quote the board separately. We never spring it on you at the end.
What the price includes either way: the electrician, the parts, full testing and your Part P certificate the same day at no extra charge. No call-out fee on top. The only thing not included is the appliance itself and taking the old one away.
Get Your Fixed PriceDo You Need a Cooker Circuit?
If you are buying a hardwired cooker or hob, you must have a dedicated circuit. Here is how to check in under a minute.
How to Check Your Fuse Box
Look at the breaker labels inside your consumer unit. If you already have a cooker circuit, there will be a breaker labelled "Cooker". It is a circuit of its own. It powers your cooker and nothing else. Cookers draw a large amount of power and cannot safely share a circuit with other appliances. If your fuse box looks dated, read our guide on 7 signs your fuse box needs upgrading before booking a new circuit.
You already have a circuit. A straight swap costs £100.
You need a new circuit first. We install from £400 then connect your appliance.

What a New Cooker Circuit Includes
Types of Cooker We Install
Not sure what you have or what you need? Here is a plain English guide to every type we install across Liverpool.
Freestanding Electric Cooker
One unit with the hob on top and the oven below. It wires into a cooker outlet on the wall. Swapping one for another costs £100.
Separate Oven and Hob
A built-in oven in a tall unit and a hob set into the worktop. Each one needs its own connection. We suggest a circuit each, so if one trips the other keeps going.
Induction Hob
The safest and most efficient way to cook. The 13A ones plug in. The 32A ones are wired in. For full power you need a 32A circuit with 6mm cable.
Range Cooker
An electric range needs a circuit of its own. A dual fuel range needs us for the oven and a Gas Safe engineer for the hob. We take care of the electrical half.
Why You Need a Qualified Electrician
Cooker and hob installation is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Here is why it matters.
Fitting an electric cooker or hob is notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations. A registered electrician has to certify it. Without that paperwork your home insurance may not pay out, and it can hold up a sale. Our guide on how to choose the right electrician in Liverpool is worth a read first.
Every manufacturer says the same thing: a qualified person must fit it or the warranty is void. The Health and Safety Executive is clear that electrical work has to be done properly. Get your new cooker wired in wrong and the warranty is dead from day one.
Victorian terraces in Anfield. Edwardian semis in Mossley Hill. 1960s builds in West Derby. The wiring in older homes often needs a look before we add a new circuit. We spot it and quote it upfront.
We protect your worktops, floors and units throughout. Cables are chased neatly where needed and everything is left clean and ready to use when we leave.

CALL 07399 676656Oven and Hob Installation in Liverpool
The questions people ask us most before a built-in oven installation or an induction hob fitting in Liverpool.
Which Induction Hob Do You Have?
There are two kinds. A 13A hob has a normal plug and goes into a normal socket. That caps the power, so you may not get every ring going at full whack.
A 32A hob is wired in and needs its own circuit with a 32-amp breaker and 6mm cable. That gives you full power on every ring at once. If you cook properly, this is the one to have.
Can My Hob and Oven Share?
In theory yes, as long as the total load stays safe. A 3kW oven and a 3kW hob together sit well inside a 32-amp circuit once diversity is applied.
We always say use two circuits. If one trips, the other still works. It costs a bit more now and saves you grief later.
Electric Oven Installation
A built-in single oven usually draws less than a hob. Many run happily on a 20-amp circuit with 2.5mm cable, and some smaller models are supplied with a plug.
Swapping a built-in oven for a new one on an existing connection is a £100 job. If your new oven is more powerful than the old one, we check the circuit can take it before we connect anything. Double ovens and pyrolytic models draw more, so they often want a circuit of their own.
Upgrading Your Current Hob
Before you buy a more powerful hob, check whether the one you have is on its own circuit. If it shares with something else, a bigger hob could push that circuit past what it can safely carry.
We check this for free on the day. If an upgrade is needed we advise upfront and quote before any work begins. No surprises ever. If your consumer unit also needs attention, read our guide on fuseboard upgrade costs in Liverpool.
Cooker Hood Installation Liverpool
We install all types of cooker hood and kitchen extractor fan across Liverpool. From a simple swap to a brand new installation.
Carbon Filter Hood
Pulls the air through a carbon filter and puts it back into the room. No ductwork needed, so it suits kitchens where you cannot vent outside. We do the wiring and the fused spur.
Externally Vented Hood
Sends the steam and smells straight outside through a duct. It works better than a carbon filter. We do the wiring and the fused spur. Ductwork is quoted on its own if you need it.
Replacing an Existing Hood
A like-for-like swap is quick if the existing connection is in the right position. If the new hood is a different type or size we may need to relocate the fused spur. We assess and quote before starting.
Planning a New Kitchen in Liverpool?
Getting the electrical planning right before your kitchen goes in saves significant time and cost later. Here is what to think about before the units are fitted.
Plan cooker position before plastering
Once the units are in, running a new cooker circuit gets messy and costs more. Decide where the hob and oven go before any building work starts.
Separate circuits for hob and oven
If you can afford it, put in two circuits from the start. Adding a second one after the units are in costs more and makes a mess.
Install 32A cable from day one
If you might want a full-power induction hob now or in the future, install the 6mm cable and 32A breaker now. Upgrading later means redoing the entire cable run.
We advise at the design stage
We visit Liverpool kitchens at the planning stage for free. We advise where the circuits go, how the cable runs, and make sure the finished job meets building regulations.
What Liverpool Customers Say

Came out at 8 o'clock on a Sunday. Was here in 20 minutes and fixed this issue promptly. Had the part required on his van. Brilliant service.
I highly recommend Michael, we had an emergency late at night as our electricity had gone off and he responded straight away to my message and was out to me within 20minutes. He found the issue and resolved it quickly and to a high standard. Michael is really professional and informative. Honestly so grateful to him. Thanks so much!!
Very pleased with the service, extremely prompt, efficient, they even checked all sockets in the house, highly recommended, thanks again for the help.

Cooker Installation Questions Liverpool
Straight answers about electric cooker, oven and hob installation in Liverpool.
COSTHow much does cooker installation cost in Liverpool?
A straight cooker swap costs £100. A new cooker circuit costs from £400. The full package including circuit and appliance connection costs from £450 with a Part P certificate on the same day. If your consumer unit is also outdated, read our guide on fuseboard upgrade costs in Liverpool.
CIRCUITDo I need a cooker circuit for an electric cooker?
Yes. Any hardwired electric cooker or hob requires a dedicated circuit. Check your fuse box for a breaker labelled Cooker. If there is one, a swap costs £100. If not, we install a new circuit from £400. If your fuse box looks dated, read our guide on 7 signs your fuse box needs upgrading before booking.
HOB AND OVENCan my hob and oven share a circuit?
They can if the combined load stays within 32 amps. We always recommend separate circuits though. If one trips, the other still works. A hob uses a 32-amp breaker with 6mm cable. An oven can run on a 20-amp breaker with 2.5mm cable.
COSTHow much does it cost to install a cooker circuit?
From £400. That covers a 32-amp breaker at your fuse box, up to 25 metres of 6mm twin and earth cable, an isolation switch, a cooker outlet and full testing.
Add the appliance connection and the whole job is £450, with the Part P certificate the same day. The price only moves if the cable run is longer than 25 metres, or your fuse box has no spare way for the new breaker. We tell you either way before we start.
DELIVERYWill AO, Currys or John Lewis connect my cooker?
No, not if it is hardwired. They will deliver it, unbox it and take the old one away. Wiring it into a cooker outlet is notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations and needs a registered electrician.
That is why people ring us with a brand new cooker stood in the middle of the kitchen. We connect it from £100 on an existing circuit, often the same day.
FITTINGDo you fit cookers bought from anywhere?
Yes. We are independent cooker fitters, so where you bought it makes no difference. AO, Currys, John Lewis, Argos, Amazon, a local shop or second hand, we connect it the same way.
A swap on an existing circuit is £100 and we cover every Liverpool postcode.
LEGALCan I install an electric cooker myself?
No. Fitting an electric cooker or hob is notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations. A qualified electrician has to do it. Get it wrong and you void the warranty, you may void your insurance, and you leave a real safety risk behind. Our guide on how to choose an electrician in Liverpool helps you pick the right one.
INDUCTIONDo you install induction hobs in Liverpool?
Yes, every type. The Energy Saving Trust rates induction as the most efficient way to cook. A 32A induction hob needs its own 6mm circuit and a 32A breaker. A 13A hob plugs into a normal socket, but you will not get full power from it. We advise on the best setup when we visit, and we can come the same day if the circuit is already there.
HOODSDo you install cooker hoods?
Yes. We fit carbon filter hoods and vented extractor hoods from £80. They all need a fused spur. If a vented hood needs ductwork, we quote that on its own.

Induction Hob Installation Liverpool: Plan Before Your Kitchen Goes In
Induction is now the first choice for most Liverpool kitchen jobs. It heats faster, it is safer around children and it wipes clean in seconds. The trick is planning the electrics before the units go in. A 32A induction hob needs a circuit of its own with 6mm cable. Fit that cable afterwards and the job gets messy and costs a lot more.
We advise Liverpool homeowners at the planning stage for free. The HSE guidance on electrical safety is clear that cooker wiring must be done by a competent person. Ring us before the kitchen work starts and we will get the spec right from day one.
