What is a dual fuel cooker?
Dual fuel cookers combine the best bits of gas cookers and electric range ovens. A dual fuel oven has a gas hob and an electric lower oven.
The gas hob provides instant heat and exact temperature control, while the electric oven allows for even heat distribution. Perfect for bakers!
Do I need an electrician to install a dual fuel cooker?
You will need a certified electrician and a gas engineer to fit a dual fuel cooker.
It's also possible to find an oven installation service that provides installers qualified in both.
How much does it cost to install a dual fuel cooker?
Dual fuel cooker installation costs depend on labour fees in your area and the complexity of the installation. For example, the standard installation cost for a like-for-like oven replacement starts at £150.

Can I install my own dual fuel cooker?
No, it is not safe to install a dual fuel cooker yourself.
Not only is it dangerous, but you could also risk breaking the appliance, voiding your warranty, and injuring yourself.
Did you know it's illegal to connect a gas cooker yourself?
Because a dual fuel oven uses gas, the installation should be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
It is also dangerous to deal with wiring without the proper knowledge. So, you'll need an electrician to install the electric oven.
Find a certified Gas Safe engineer, electrician, or appliance service.
On Checkatrade, you'll only find trades who meet our high standards and pass up to 12 checks.
Do all dual fuel cookers need hardwiring?
Not all dual fuel ovens need to be hardwired.
For ovens using 3kW or less, a regular plug socket with a 13 Amp fuse will usually suffice.
But, ovens with more power need an isolated breaker or fuse. So, if your oven has an electrical connection of over 3kW, or is a double oven, it will need hardwiring.
A 16-amp fuse is needed for single, combi, or microwave ovens. A 32-amp fuse is a must for double ovens.
A registered electric stove installer can tell you if your new dual fuel cooker needs hardwiring.
What are the electrical requirements for a dual fuel stove?
Dual fuel stoves need a dedicated 32-amp power supply. An isolation switch must also be within 2 metres of the appliance.
The high current of an oven can be instantly fatal. Don't take any risks.
Arrange for a professional dual fuel cooker installer to safely fit your new oven.
Why choose professional dual fuel oven installation?
Choosing a professional for your dual cooker installation isn't just about convenience, it's about safety. But, there are several other good reasons to use dual fuel cooker installers.
1. Safety
Both gas and electricity can be downright dangerous, even fatal.
Choosing a qualified electrician and gas-safe engineer is the safest option.
2. Warranty
Installing your dual fuel oven yourself without the correct experience, knowledge, and tools can damage your oven.
Improper installation can also lead to a void warranty.
3. Compliance
A Gas Safe Registered engineer must install the gas-hob aspect to comply with gas safety regulations.
4. Expertise
An experienced professional can advise on dual fuel cookers and recirculating cooker hoods.
Choosing a bigger oven or moving your oven will require professional advice. That way, you will know of any changes to your electrics or gas lines.
