FAQ
What size are electric hobs?
What is the difference between ceramic and induction.
Induction hobs heat the actual pan and are therefore quicker at heating up and also more energy efficient. Ceramic hobs heat the surface and are much slower than induction hobs and also leave residual heat so are not as safe.
Do you need special pans for induction hobs?
Yes you do. They need to be magnetic in order to conduct electricity, the better the quality pans the more efficient your cooking will be.
Are induction hobs safe for those with pacemakers installed?
It is advisable that if you or anyone in the household has a pacemaker to avoid installing an induction hob. Because of the way induction technology works there is a very small chance it can interfere with a pacemaker if they are near the hob.
How will I know if I have the correct electrical supply.
If you currently have a ceramic hob then the electrical supply should be correct, if you are swapping over from gas you will need to check if there is a dedicated 32amp supply present.
How soon can I get my appliance?
We offer delivery and installation 5 days a week and depending on availability we can offer same or next day local delivery.
Can you disconnect a gas hob and install an electric hob?
Yes we can, you will need the gas capping off and you will need to ensure the electrical supply is correct for us to install into.
Can you cut the worktop if a bigger hob is chosen?
Yes we can as it is all part of the installation service. Please note though we can only install into laminate or wood worktops.
