Induction Hob Installation in Edinburgh

Q: How Does an Induction Hob Work?

When an induction hob is switched on, a magnetic field is activated underneath the surface. When a pan is placed onto the hob, the circuit is completed and the base of the pan will be heated. This is different to any alternative, where the hob usually heats a ring which, in turn, heats the pan containing the food. By removing this step entirely, the induction process becomes much quicker. An induction hob is an efficient choice — rapidly heating up, induction makes the cooking process quicker than with more traditional electric options.

Q: Why is It Important to Use an Induction Hob Installation Specialist?

There are many considerations when installing a new induction hob. A professional electrician will consider the ‘Hot Zone’, placement of electrical sockets/switches, hoods and other flammable items. It’s also important that your current electrical connection (plug socket or switch) matches the requirements of your new hob: if your new hob is over 3 kW, you’ll need a 16 Amp or 32 Amp fuse; if below 3 kW, a standard 12 Amp fuse or regular plug socket may suffice. If you are disconnecting a gas hob, a Gas-Safe registered specialist is required. At P Blackhall, their expert team ensures the process is done safely and effectively.
