Pocster Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hey all Do gas ovens have fans ? IMG_0441.MP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are most electricians qualified to cap the gas so a swap to electric can be made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An electrician is not qualified to cap off a gas supply unless he is also gas safe registered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 13A is 3KW. Put all 4 rings on and that's 750W per ring available. I hope you are not in a hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 depends. There's good practice, and there's what happens. And how do you quantify continuous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Perhaps go for a dual fuel set up. Electric oven with a gas hob on top. https://www.google.com/search?q=60cm+dual+fuel+cooker&oq=60cm+dual&aqs=chrome.0.0j69i57j0l2.5777j0j8&client=tablet-android-pega&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#scso=_PvXvXYOdLqaU1fAP_emMmA474:0.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone for electric oven and induction hob - electrician will run a new feed for hob . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
