[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 21846, member: 250"] Hi Chris.. as has been pointed out.. You really do need to go and have a look at the job.. A cooker is most probably the second largest electrical appliance in the property after an electric shower! So no assuming things are OK without checking! Find out the power rating of the new cooker.. remember diversity to be applied.. (Pg 96 OSG.) first 10A + 30% of rest + 5A if socket outlet.. Check length of cable run & probable thermal insulation etc.. REMEMBER! REG 131.8 Additions & Alterations.. temp OR permanent must check condition of existing equipment / loading / earthing & bonding! Obviously if not adequate.... it could ramp a few more costs onto the job. Can be handy to have copy of Regs available to show customer if they question your judgement if stuff need upgrading! :) ;) [/QUOTE]
