Dual fuel cooker installation cost

Do you need both an electrician and a gas engineer for a dual-fuel cooker? Might take the stars aligning for me to get them in the same room at the same time if so?

"You may find someone who is qualified in both arenas. Otherwise you may have to employ both. Depends whether there is already a gas feed there which is usually a simple push/twist connection."

"Yes. For a dual-fuel cooker you normally need both a Gas Safe registered engineer to connect and test the gas supply, and a qualified electrician to install or connect the electrical supply, which is often a 32A cooker circuit.

They don’t need to be there at the same time. The electrical side can be installed first and the gas engineer can connect and commission the appliance separately. You can sometimes find an engineer who is dual-qualified and able to carry out both parts, which saves coordinating two trades."

"Yes indeed . You do need to be a competent person to connect gas and electric if you want to be safe."
