As part of fitting new kitchen I plan to completely rewire the kitchen as there is currently only a single cooker point / socket. (Note this point will be removed as want to move the cooker position)
I plan to put the kitchen on a separate ring main and originally blindly assumed I would also need a radial cooker circuit to a new cooker control unit.
Although I have yet to decide exactly what oven / hob I will get, chances are it will be a single built in electric oven with separate gas hob & cooker hood. This implies I can probably run everything off the main kitchen ring main as the oven will be < 3kW.
Seems like no need for the cooker control unit then ... but this is not very future proof for me or future occupiers if I/they fancy a big electric cooker. If I do put in the cooker control unit can/should I use it to connect to a small (<3kW) electric oven???
