Installing an Electric Oven

Installing an Electric Oven

LED lighting installation perth 1

Do you want to set up a new electric oven in your home? It is a great investment because electric ovens have many advantages including consistent heat and enhanced safety. Hiring a professional electrician is necessary because the installation process typically requires electrical wiring and following of complex safety regulations.

Knowing the Australian Standards for electrical wiring is crucial when installing your kitchen appliances. Electrical ovens are very different from gas-powered ones, and it is very important to use adequate components and follow recommended procedures. To minimise the safety risks, it is best to contact your trusty local electrician who will complete the job safely and efficiently.

What You Need to Know About the Safety Standards for Electric Ovens

Electric ovens need to be installed professionally to ensure maximum safety. You need a licenced electrician because they will be able to provide you with a compliance certificate that guarantees installations are in line with current standards and regulations. The main requirements include:

  • Adequate safety switches or RCDs
  • Arc fault protection devices
  • Isolation switches

A licenced electrician will make sure you fulfil these requirements and ensure the necessary levels of safety. They know exactly which rules you need to comply with when installing new appliances or planning kitchen rewiring.

Plugging in an Electric Oven

Can you simply plug in an electric oven? Typically, electric ovens have high power requirements and cannot be plugged into regular outlets. Firstly, they need 220V powerpoints, and they usually require wiring and installation work.

You are not sure whether your electric oven needs to be hardwired? If it rates over 3kw, an electricity-powered oven should be hardwired because it makes them much safer and more durable. Instead of featuring a plugin, this type of electric oven is directly installed in the building and attached to its own circuit.

Should You Choose an Electric Over a Gas Oven?

Electric ovens have many advantages, but it is up to you to decide which type of appliance you find more practical and more useful in your home. The key things to consider include safety, pricing, design, and quality of cooking. With a smooth top and modern appearance, an electric oven is aesthetically more appealing and fits into any contemporary kitchen layout. It is also a safer choice because gas can be dangerous. On the other hand, the main drawbacks include longer cooking time, higher energy bills and reliance on electric power.

What Our Clients Say

Shannon from G. A. Perry attended our home today and installed a new show head for us. It entailed drilling into tiles which I wasn’t prepared to attempt. He arrived on time, was friendly and quick in his quality work. He also tightened up our towel rail while he was here. This is the 5th time I have called them out and every time has been the same. If you have any plumbing requirements, I highly recommend this Company. Arguable the best plumber in Perth.

Van 10. Arrived in time range and with courtesy, knowledge and efficiency, the non urgent and turned off leaking hot water pipe 250mm below paving was replaced. Cleaned burner and relit HW system. Good old fashioned service could not be faulted. I will use this company again and happily recommend.

The lad was so helpful, did an excellent job was on time, and I was extremely surprised at the amount I was quoted when job was completed. I was quoted a rediculous price by another Company $7900. Pays to shop around and I found G A Perry who I shall continue to use in future. Thankyou.. Valda Gainford

GA Perry are amazing....I always contact them for plumbing, electrical and gas hot water repairs. They have even installed a gas hot water system and smoke alarms for me. The most reliable company, GA Perry representatives always arrive on time, are friendly, professional and they do impeccable work. I couldn't be happier with them. Faultless from first telephone contact to the finished job. Thanks GA Perry. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

You want to know what the only thing worse than having a blocked toilet on a Saturday night is? Trying to find a service that lists itself as 24/7 for emergencies that actually answers the phone when it happens. After trying 5 other places, not only did I get right through to an actual plumber, but he was here in little over an hour.I didn't catch his name, but the guy I spoke to came out, did a great job, and left the work area cleaner than it had been pre-disaster. While I hope I won't need this kind of service again in the future, I know who I'm calling first next time - it's these folks, for sure.

GA Perry are now our go to plumbers. They are always reliable and trustworthy. They recently replaced our gas hot water system and arranged for ATCO to adjust the gas flow as the original plumbers from another company had not installed the correct system and this was the cause of many of the problems that we had experienced over an 8 year period. GA Perry were very helpful and organised a temporary system for us until ATCO had attended. Many thanks to Shannon and the other plumber who sorted everything out for us. Highly recommended.

Had Chris come around to instal a new dishwasher. After removing the old dishwasher he cleaned the dirt that was left in the space before connecting the new machine. Service above and beyond. Good bloke.

10 February 2021. GA Perry have looked after us again. One call to GA Perry and helpful staff were doing their utmost to help us. We were panicking but all sorted within an hour. I cannot rate GA Perry highly enough! Thanks again, guys!It is rare that I write a review for Google (I think that this is actually my first) but I feel as though I have to write this review having had the best service I have ever received from GA Perry last week (and also having seen some of the previous reviews on their website).Our water heater was failing and we were unsure as to the potential costs of replacing it. With one call to GA Perry, we were advised as to the options (from cheapest to most expensive but also most appropriate).I had the pleasure of speaking with Sam who was helpful, sincere and knowledgeable.We thought that we would also try to “tie up” some electrical work at home (which needed to be done for ages but we put it off because we were concerned about the costs).Within 24 hours (and also at the agreed time) we had both a plumber and an electrician attend at our house. The work was done efficiently and with a minimum of fuss (the tradesmen cleaned up after themselves which was a nice surprise). Both tradesmen did their jobs thoroughly and without rushing or cutting corners.Both tradesmen were professional and “went the extra mile” in respect of answering questions that we had and ensured that the heater was working properly and that the electrical work was safe.I thoroughly recommend GA Perry.Their costs were as estimated, their service was impeccable and making arrangements for the work was conducted professionally and with the focus on customer service.I have recommended GA Perry to my friends and will continue to do so.

Dave did excellent work upgrading the main switchboard at our house. Very neat, every RCD clearly marked and mapped. He was on time, polite, patient and the cost was exactly as quoted at a very reasonable price.Wayne who took the booking is fantastic, he could explain the technical side to the work too which was a great help.Second time we used GA Perry and honestly would not use anyone else ever again. Thanks guys!

We phoned GA PERRY yesterday to attend a blocked toilet that we had. From the initial telephone call we made speaking to Wayne, through to the Plumber Brodie arriving on time and attending our property and clearing our blocked toilet was faultless. A great company to engage any services. Very happy, highly recommend.

Had an issue with a Gas Leak, called three 24hr Emergency repairers and the only one to answer the call was GA Perry. From the outset, they were professional and had a tech arrive within 2 hours as promised. After explaining my situation to the tech, he troubleshooted all possible areas of the issue. He had the issue resolved within 30 minutes, could not be happier with the service, 5 stars. Highly recommend.

Rarely do I write reviews but from the first contact point on contact with Wayne on the phone through to Peter attending site on time and clearing our blocked drain promptly the service was 10/10. A truly professional, slick operation from start to finish. Thanks again GA Perry.

Due to being without power for 21 hours I finally had Western Power come out & I was told that it wasn't their problem. I needed an electrician. My friend who uses you for anything needed fixing highly recommended you. I rang & got satisfaction within an hour. It was so good having my air cooler back on as it was so hot inside my house. My main switch in the metre box had burnt out. I thought it was a general outage in the area. No. Just me. I can't praise this company enough for their fast efficiency. Price wise I was happy. Thank you G A Perry

I had a ceiling fan/light installed. A bit expensive, but I always know that it's quality work that conforms to the latest industry standards. Every step was explained and justified, which I really liked.
