When Do You Need An Electrician To Install
While it may be tempting to DIY it, installing an electric oven is dangerous and can lead to extensive repairs and problems later down the track.
It’s always better to be safe than sorry and our professional electricians are here to help with your electric oven when you’re:
- Installing an electric oven for the first time
- Replacing an existing electric oven
- Installing a larger or higher-powered electric oven
- Moving your oven to a different spot
- Renovating your kitchen
- Adding an oven to a kitchen with several other high-load appliances
- Experiencing circuit breakers or safety switches tripping when using your oven
When you’re replacing an existing electric oven, it’s important to double-check that your existing connection is suitable for the new appliance, as different ovens have different energy requirements.
Before installing your new electric oven, our electricians will inspect your existing wiring, circuit protection and switchboard capacity.
Can My Existing Wiring Be Used For A New Electric Oven?
Yes, you can use your existing wiring for your new electric oven, but it’ll need to be assessed by one of our licensed electricians first.
If you’re replacing an electric oven in the same location, the existing circuits and wiring might be suitable for the new model. However, this depends on factors such as the oven’s power requirements, existing infrastructure, and the overall condition of your electric oven.
Our electricians can check:
- Your existing oven’s circuit
- Cable size and condition
- Circuit breakers
- Switchboard capacity
If you are unsure whether your existing wiring is safe to reuse for your new electric oven, our team are more than happy to help. Just give us a call on (03) 7036 1065
Can My Current Switchboard Handle My New Electric Oven?
Your switchboard must be able to safely supply electricity to your oven alongside all the other appliances in your home.
An overwhelmed switchboard is a problem, especially if you’re:
- Installing a higher-powered oven
- Adding multiple appliances into your home during a renovation
- Living in an older Melbourne home
- Already experiencing circuit breaker problems and tripping
- Planning to install an electric cooktop at the same time as your electric oven
Our electricians can assess your switchboard, available capacity and existing circuit protection before installation.
Electric Oven Installations For Kitchen Renovations
Undergoing a kitchen renovation is the perfect opportunity to rethink your home’s electrical system as well as your layout. If you’re replacing an old gas oven with a modern electric one, moving your oven to a different location or upgrading to a more powerful electric oven, the electrical need be planned before you fit your cabinetry and walls are finished.
Our Electric Oven Installation Process
1. Assess Your Existing Electrical Installation
Our team will inspect the relevant wiring, circuit, connection point and switchboard to determine whether the existing installation is suitable.
2. Check the New Oven's Electrical Requirements
Every appliance has specific electrical requirements. We'll use the manufacturer's specifications to determine what is needed for a safe installation.
3. Safety Switch Installations
Every kitchen needs to have proper RCD protection to keep your family and home safe. Our electricians install safety switches on your oven’s circuit to protect you from fires, electric shocks and other electrical malfunctions.
4. Install or Upgrade the Required Circuit
Where required, our electricians can install a new circuit, upgrade wiring or make other electrical changes necessary for your new electric oven.
5. Connect and Test the Oven
Once the electrical work is complete, we'll connect the oven and test the installation to ensure everything is operating correctly.
