Gas oven

[Pocster]

Hey all

 

Do gas ovens have fans ?

 

 

[Pocster]

Actually ! Can I replace this gas oven with an electric one ? . Electric ovens require their own dedicated wire and fuse ? - or do they come with a plug i.e just plug in and go ...

[ProDave]

Ovens don't actually use much, typically they are 2.3Kw and often do come with just a 13A plug.  But the thorn in the side is fixed heating appliances over 2KW are supposed to be on a dedicated circuit.

I guess an induction hob equally draws little current. Are most electricians qualified to cap the gas so a swap to electric can be made ?

Sounds like you are cooking a parrot, a live parrot.

Induction hobs usually draw a LOT more than an oven.

 

An electrician is not qualified to cap off a gas supply unless he is also gas safe registered.

13A is 3KW.  Put all 4 rings on and that's 750W per ring available.  I hope you are not in a hurry.

Don't they swap the power between 'rings' when more than two are on.

And isn't it 10A for a continuous load on a socket?

[dpmiller]

depends. There's good practice, and there's what happens. And how do you quantify continuous?

Perhaps go for a dual fuel set up. Electric oven with a gas hob on top.

Nah - don’t like tenants having gas . Gone for electric oven and induction hob - electrician will run a new feed for hob .

To do this properly, contact the gas company and specify who you need to call for your work. Let 3 qualified specialists do it better. I saw a gas explosion indoors, believe me, you don't want it.

Switching to electricity is a good step! Electric stoves and sockets are standard, but check with a consultant or electrician to find out which sockets will work. Every rule has an exception, so it's better to ask specialists than to overpay later.
