Appliance and heating connections in Colchester
Lighting Electrical connects cookers, ovens and heating appliances for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Colchester. We check the circuit, make the connection and leave the electrical paperwork when the work is finished.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Appliance connection questions
These questions come up before Lighting Electrical connects a cooker or oven.
How much does a cooker or oven connection cost?+
A cooker or oven connection with Lighting Electrical starts from £120. That starting price is for connecting the appliance to a circuit that can already carry it, then testing and paperwork. If the supply cannot carry the load, extra circuit work is priced before it starts.
— Valandi Kotorri
Do you connect electric ovens as well as cookers?+
Yes. Lighting Electrical connects electric cookers and electric ovens. The starting price from £120 applies to either appliance when the circuit can carry it.
— Valandi Kotorri
What if the cooker circuit cannot take the load?+
The cooker stays off until the circuit can carry it. Lighting Electrical checks rating, isolator, earthing and bonding before a connection is priced. A new circuit or consumer unit change is priced as its own work if that is needed.
Do you supply the cooker or fit it in the kitchen?+
No. Lighting Electrical connects the electrical supply. Moving the appliance, gas, plumbing and kitchen fitting stay with those other trades. You receive the electrical paperwork for the connection.
How do I book a cooker connection?+
Book Online and the booking line can take the cooker or oven details any time. Lighting Electrical then confirms the appliance and the circuit for the visit. After the visit you have the connection, the tests and the paperwork.
