kitchen heating hob
I have a newly fitted electric heating hob (newly built house) but I will like to switch to induction hub. How do I go about it? Do I need to just buy a new Induction hub or both the oven and the hood?
Expert Trade Answers
"You will need to buy a new induction hob — you cannot convert the old electric/ceramic hob into induction. Induction uses a different heating technology (electromagnetic heating), so the surface and electronics are different.
Yes — you just buy a new induction hob, and keep the same oven and hood. But you need to check that the hood’s clearance/installation remains appropriate for the new hob."

"It depends on the kW rating. If it's a 4 ring they normally swap but anything over 3.6 KW needs to be on a minimum 6mm cable from the consumer unit"
