cooker installation costs?

hotcookie101

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of cost to get an electrician to install a freestanding electric cooker (needs hardwiring-cable already there-replacing an old cooker)

We have narrowed our choices down to 2 machines, and I have been to the local euronics store and the prices they have given me at between £105-170 more than I can buy for online)
I could buy one machine from JL for £130 less and it includes delivery and a 2 year warranty, or £45 from comet incl delivery and installation. Euronics deliver and install though. I would like to buy from them, but it is a fair bit of money, and I am unsure how much it would cost to get an electrician out-I know it is a quick job, but don't think would get change from £80?

We are in north essex
Thanks

How good at euronics stores at haggling/price matching?

I'd do it for £50 but not in North Essex. I'd even charge £30 it it weren't too far away.

£50 is about the mark.

before you buy just check that the kW rating of your new cooker is not more than your existing one - that way no extra cabling will be required

Is it likely to be?
The one we have is 5 years old, a hotpoint, not sure which model, but double oven, ceramic hob, and is hardwired with a VERY thick cable and there is a big red "cooker" switch on the wall. replacing it with this one so I presumed it would be like for like?

Thanks
