Fitting switch for Dual Fuel cooker

sist_si · 14 Jan 2009 at 09:24

Hi guys,
I'm going to be replacing my cooker soon and was thinking of getting a dual fuel one but I don't have the cooker switch in my kitchen at the moment as my current cooker is just gas. My questions are:
a) Do I need this switch?
b) How much would it cost to get it installed?
c) Anyone know someone good in Birmingham to do this?

Thanks for your help

the fuse box is actually in the kitchen so I presume it'd be fairly easy to run a new cable from it to the switch

also, there is a double plug socket close to the cooker...could this just be replaced with a cooker switch or is it all different ampage etc??

sorry. i mean the main oven is electric and the hobs are gas. From what I was reading, the electric oven requires one of these switches and also a seperate circuit too? I'm no electrician tho (hence my questions)

that is what i meant. ta footman. Just out of interest, *roughly* how much would i need to pay for this if say, I replaced the current double plug near the cooker with a single plug/cooker isolator combo switch and had it wired to the fusebox below (all in the same room)?
