Find out everything you need to know about our electric oven installation service.
Our fully trained installation team can get your new electric oven installed and ready to go on your delivery day. We’re up to the task and fully approved by the NICEIC. That’s the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting. Who? Only one of the best electrical assessors in the UK, so you know our standards are high. Find out what’s included in this service and what you can do to prepare for us.
What we'll do
We’ll make sure you get the smoothest possible service every step of the way.
- If you’ve selected our connection service for your new appliance, we’ll happily disconnect your old one for you.
- When we arrive, we’ll unpack your new oven and disconnect your old one.
- Don’t worry about cables. We’ll bring everything we need to get your new oven installed.
- Before we leave, we’ll make sure your oven is level and working so you, your staff or your tenant can get cooking.
- We’ll take at least 8 pictures during installation, just so we’ve got a record of the service.
- If you’ve chosen our Remove & Recycle service, we’ll take away your old oven when we leave.
What you need to do
There’re just a few things for you to check before we arrive.
Make sure your current electrical connection (plug socket or big red switch) matches what your new oven needs. If your new oven is over 3kw, then you’ll need a 16Amp or 32Amp fuse - a big red switch. If your new oven is below 3kw, then you’ll only need a standard 13Amp fuse – a regular plug socket. Compare what you have with the details of your new oven on the Key Information tab on our product pages to make sure you’re all set.
Double check that the height, width and depth of your new oven will fit into the space in your kitchen. You can find oven dimensions in the Product Detail section on our product pages.
You’ll need to let us know if you’re switching from a gas oven to a new electric oven in the basket if you're ordering online. If you're ordering over the phone, please let the team know. If you are, then we’ll send one of our qualified Gas Safe engineers to take care of installation.
If you use a pre-paid meter, please make sure it's topped up. If we're unable to test the connection, we won't be able to install your electric oven.
What we don't cover
Here’s everything our installation service doesn’t cover.
- While we can make small adjustments like changing cables or cooker switches to fit your oven, we won’t change any other part of your home. We’re only here to fit your new electric oven, after all.
- Installation for cooking products is only available on certain days in certain postcodes. If you're ordering online, find out what dates are available for you at the checkout. If you'd prefer to order over the phone, please get in touch with the AO Business team and we can discuss this with you.
FAQs
- How much does installation cost?
Pricing for this installation varies. Please get in touch with the team with any queries you have around pricing for the installation service.
- I’m ordering two products - do I have to pay twice for installation?
Yes. If ordering online, you'll have to select the service for each item in your basket. We can also arrange this with you over the phone.
- I have a gas oven - can you uninstall it before installing an electric one?
Yes. Please let us know in the basket, or when you contact us.
- Can I add installation after ordering?
Yes, you can. But this might affect your delivery day, as it depends if any of our engineers are available. You can add installation up until 2pm the day before your original delivery date. Please give us a ring to get this sorted for you.
- How soon can I have my oven installed?
Installation is available 7 days a week, but this depends on your location and whether engineers are available. If you're ordering online, you can see which dates are available by adding a product to the basket and entering your postcode. If you'd prefer to speak to one of the team, we'll be happy to discuss availability with you over the phone.
- Do you install at weekends/bank holidays?
Yes, we do. This depends on where you are and whether engineers are available. If you're ordering online, you can see which dates are available by adding a product to the basket and entering your postcode. If you'd prefer to speak to one of the team, we'll be happy to discuss availability with you over the phone.
