    Hi guys my old gas cooker has finally conked out on me. I've bought a duel fuel cooker, as I was told that electric ovens cook more evenly and seeing as my missuses is a sh!t cook, it may make things easier for her. As of yet it hasn't arrived but this is the one I've bought;

    As there's no existing wiring in place, what type of cooker switch, cable and mcb will I require. The cooker's about 9 meters away from the consumer unit. I'm and avid diyer but as far as wiring is concerned I've only ever ran a spur from a socket. I don't intend doing it myself but do intend making it easier for the electrician ie. drilling the wholes etc. I live somewhere near Manchester, how much should I expect an electrician to charge for such a job?

    Thanks

    Concur with the fan assisted electric oven being generally better then a gas oven. We use to have a gas oven for years, and then I changed it to an electric fan assisted oven. The food cooks faster and its looking like it is cheaper to run then gas..will know when I get electricity and gas bills - as then can make definitive judgment on opposing running costs (on approx basis)

    Your wife will have to adjust her cooking technique as it needs less time to cook say a chicken.

    PS..don't forget to use a jack chain..which should already be in situ.
