Ask your QuestionHow much would it be to install my cooker? It's brand new and when it arrived the cooker came without a wire.
Asked by Carla on 21st Oct 2019Best Answer
"Hello
Firstly the question would be, do you have a cooker connection point where the appliance is going? If so and it's rated correctly at the distribution board then I would think this would cost £100 or more depending on location/parking etc.
To check if your fuse is the correct size take your appliance wattage(W) and divide is by 230v (V) = Amps (A)
The wattage should be on the appliance or manual.
If a new spur would have to be wired from the distribution board a visit for a quote would be advised. I would think it would cost upwards of £250 as this requires a certificate.
Good luck,
Best regards."
"So for a cooker you normally require a 6mm cable from a cooker isolation switch to a back plate at the back of the cooker which the cooker gets wired to a 6mm twin and earth cable. Normally I charge around £85."

Answered on 31st Mar 2020 - Member since Dec 2018 - report"Hello Carla, it depends on what location you are in. On average I would say around £50 - £80 to install an electric cooker. Some electricians have a minimum fee for each job. You're better off submitting a job on this site so local electricians could contact you with a more accurate price."

"We charge £70 for an appliance installation, we will not charge extra for a small piece of cable."
