Every Electrical Service Under One Roof
From a single cooker connection to a full kitchen electrical fit-out, we handle every cooker installation across Birmingham correctly and safely.
Correct From The Consumer Unit To The Connection Point
An electric cooker or induction hob requires a dedicated circuit run directly from the consumer unit, sized correctly for the appliance’s power rating and protected by the appropriate circuit breaker. Connecting a cooker to an existing ring main or an undersized circuit is dangerous, non-compliant and a common cause of nuisance tripping and overheating. It is also the kind of substandard work that gets flagged immediately on an EICR inspection.
At Assured Electricians Birmingham, every cooker installation we carry out starts at the consumer unit and ends with a fully tested, certificated circuit that is correctly specified for the appliance.

Don't Assume Your Existing Wiring Will Support A New Induction Hob
Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular in Birmingham homes, and for good reason: they are faster, more efficient, and safer than traditional electric hobs. However, they draw significantly more current than many homeowners expect, and an existing cooker circuit that was correctly sized for an older appliance may not be adequate for a new high-powered induction hob without assessment and potentially an upgrade.
We carry out induction hob installations across Birmingham, assessing the existing electrical supply before any work begins and upgrading the circuit where necessary to ensure the installation is correctly specified, safe and certificated. Where a new kitchen also requires additional socket installation or a full kitchen rewire, we can carry out all works in a single visit.
Our Electric Cooker FAQs
Yes. Any new circuit or significant alteration to an existing circuit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations and must be carried out by a qualified electrician. As a NICEIC Approved Contractor, we self-certify all notifiable work, so you receive the correct documentation without any additional steps.
Yes. Any electric cooker or induction hob above 3kW requires a dedicated circuit run from the consumer unit, correctly sized for the appliance’s power rating. Connecting a cooker to a standard ring main is not compliant with BS 7671 and is a common cause of overheating and nuisance tripping.
Not always. Induction hobs can draw significantly more current than older appliances, particularly dual-zone and high-powered models. We always assess the existing circuit before any installation and will advise honestly if an upgrade is required before we proceed.
Yes. We regularly carry out built-in oven and separate hob installations across Birmingham, running the appropriate dedicated circuits for both appliances and installing the correct control switches.
