We currently have an old gas oven that is on the blink. Her indoors

My question is can I just plug an electric oven into a normal electric
socket or would I need an electrician fit it?
No it has to be wired direct to a 6mm TW&E outlet.

Of course it doesn't, you are thinking of a full cooker.
Ovens can be very low rating and many come with a 13amp plug on.

Don't you have an electric cooker point?


This will be a double oven or oven and grill.


Why not ask the supplier of a prospective oven what supply is suitable,
or whether the thing comes with a plug??
