Why You Should Use a Qualified Electrician for Hob Installation
Getting a new induction hob is exciting, but incorrect installation can be dangerous and invalidate your insurance. Most models must be installed by a qualified electrician to meet UK wiring regulations and ensure proper fuse and cable ratings.
Upgrade your fuse board or rewire your kitchen for full compliance and safety.
