| 1250899 | 2011-12-27 21:30:00 | Got a new wall oven. Old one was hard-wired in, new one has a 3-pin plug. So, does the new one need the plug removed and be hard-wired in? Or a 3-pin socket installed on the old cable into the wall behind the oven? I assume the cable into the back of old oven is the same cable that would take a 3-pin socket? How much should this cost to get done? I'm not going to do it myself, just want to know what I need to get done before I find someone to do it (will probably need to wait until new year I guess to get someone available) Cheers, Mike. |

| 1250900 | 2011-12-27 21:49:00 | You would require an electrician to remove the hard wiring from the old oven. It is not a job that I would even dream of tackling. You could be looking at a $40 van fee plus whatever their hourly rate is. This is not a huge job so should not cost too much. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1250902 | 2011-12-27 22:09:00 | I don't think you're allowed to have them hard-wired in any more; but best to check with an electrician. | somebody (208) | ||
| 1250903 | 2011-12-27 22:12:00 | Should only cost you whatever their minimum charge is. Would take them all of 20 minutes to complete. | pine-o-cleen (2955) | ||
| 1250904 | 2011-12-27 22:44:00 | Think I'm with somebody on this one ... newer ovens have to be switched and plugged. Wouldn't have a clue about cost ... sorry ... but it would pay to shop around. | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1250905 | 2011-12-27 22:53:00 | So all I need is for a new switch/socket to be installed on the old cable and attached to the wall behind oven? Mike. |

| 1250907 | 2011-12-28 00:48:00 | We just bought a new wall oven today as well. But just paid for them to deliver and change it over and remove the old one. They'll do it for between $100 and $150. | psycik (12851) | ||
