Why use a gas engineer to fit a cooker or hob?
A boiler is a room-sealed appliance, meaning the air in the room is unaffected by combustion.
A gas fire has an atmospheric sensing device: if the oxygen in the room is depleted, the fire turns off automatically before carbon monoxide builds up.
A gas cooker or hob doesn’t have any of these features that would prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. The flame uses the oxygen in the room for combustion and releases its product of combustion in the same room. That’s why it’s important for any cooker to be fitted professionally.

Gas cooker installation
Connecting a gas cooker seems to be the simplest of all jobs. However, it involves a lot more than just connecting the rubber hose to the gas pipe if you want your appliance to be working safely.
Even before fitting the appliance and doing any work, ventilation and clearances must be assessed. The bayonet connection to the rubber hose must be in an appropriate location. The rubber hose itself must be inspected to make sure it is in good condition.
Gas cooker commissioning
The next part of the job involves testing the appliance to ensure it is working as intended by the manufacturer and is safe. I’ll be checking combustion, safety devices, thermostat and much more.
Gas hob installation
As the hob will sit within the worktop, the latter will need to be cut to size. If it’s not made of wood or laminate, for instance a granite worktop, you will need to get it cut beforehand. There needs to be a gap of 5cm to the rear when the hob is in place, so do keep that in mind when getting the hole cut out, otherwise the gas hob may not be safe to be fitted.
Connection of a hob to the gas supply will always be in rigid 15mm copper pipe and NEVER with the black or yellow cooker hose.
The rest of the commissioning for a gas hob is similar to that of a gas cooker.
