Thinking about a new oven, hob, or cooker? It’s a great way to upgrade your kitchen, but it’s crucial to get the installation right. While some appliance shops might offer to fit your new purchase, we always recommend using a qualified electrician.


Here at 786 Electricals, we've seen it all. Improper installations can lead to serious risks, from electrical faults to fires. Your home's safety and your family’s well-being should always be the top priority.


Why Professional Installation is a Must

  • Safety First, Always: An experienced electrician understands the intricacies of electrical systems. We know the right way to handle wiring, grounding, and circuitry, which significantly reduces the risk of dangerous electrical issues. A professional installation ensures that all safety protocols are followed, protecting you and your property.
  • Expertise and Knowledge: Cookers and ovens aren’t simple plug-and-play devices. They require a deep understanding of electrical loads and wiring standards. Our team has the training and experience to handle complex installations, troubleshoot any potential issues, and make sure your new appliance operates perfectly.
  • Compliance with Regulations: Electrical work is governed by strict regulations to ensure safety and quality. A qualified electrician is up-to-date on all these codes and legal requirements. We ensure your installation meets all the necessary standards, giving you peace of mind that the job is done correctly and legally.
  • Protecting Your Warranty: Many appliance manufacturers require installation by a qualified professional to keep your warranty valid. A DIY job or an installation by an untrained shop assistant could void this valuable protection, leaving you on the hook for future repairs. We make sure the installation meets the manufacturer's guidelines, so your warranty remains intact.
