Electric Cooker with Gas Part.

Zoomup
A customer is having a new all electric cooker delivered today. I installed a new consumer unit and cooker connection point yesterday. A local retailer will not connect up a new cooker if the connection is not simple and straightforward. The old cooker is to be scrapped. The retailer has been known to take a new cooker away after refusing to connect it. The lady of the house is sorry to see the back of the old cooker, I suppose that that is why she was cleaning it yesterday.

    What is the question / problem ?

    If the cooker to be undone is on a plug-in gas hose, anyone can disconnect it, as the gas act specifically calls that up as not being gas work.

    If it needs spanners then it should be a competent person. (so if for hire and reward, Gas Safe registered)

    Of course  if it is unplugged and the  seal has failed so it leaks, then treat as needing spanners...
