kitchen heating hob

Question

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?

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

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.

Get an electrician to make a quick assessment on the power consumption of your existing hob.  He will advice on which induction hob to purchase that will match that of the circuit for your existing hob. It will then just be a case of getting him to install your new induction hob. Also bear in mind that all your pots and pans will now have to be induction- compatible.. If they are not, they won’t work on your new induction hob..

You dont need to buy a new oven or extractor. 
You should be fine just buying a new hob as long as its the same size. 
Its wise to consult an electrician to wire it in though as some induction hobs use a lot of power.

Marius · Answer

You only need to buy:
• 	The induction hob itself
• 	Possibly new pans (if yours aren’t induction‑compatible)
You do NOT need:
• 	A new oven
• 	A new extractor hood
