It takes a bit more than finding a free power outlet in your home to get your newly bought electric stove going. The reason – such appliances tend to generate lots of heat and need a much larger current than your typical fridge or microwave. In other words, this means that you will need to install a separate circuit, with its own fuse and consumer unit in place. That is why you should always hire a qualified technician when you need to install an electric stove.
