Dedicated Electrical Supply for Appliances and Equipment
Has an air conditioning installer, kitchen fitter or appliance supplier told you that an electrician is needed?
SM Electrical Services can run and connect a suitable electrical supply from the consumer unit to the equipment.
The electrical part other installers may not provide
Many specialist contractors install the equipment itself but don’t complete the fixed electrical supply.
An air conditioning company may position and connect the indoor and outdoor units but ask the homeowner to arrange a qualified electrician for the power supply.
A larger oven or induction hob may also need a dedicated circuit rather than connection to an existing socket.
SM Electrical Services completes this electrical part of the project and can coordinate with the other installer where required.
Common dedicated supply installations
Air conditioning condensers
Run a suitable electrical supply from the consumer unit to an external condenser or other agreed air conditioning equipment.
We can liaise with the air conditioning installer to confirm the connection requirements and timing.
Induction hobs
Assess whether the existing installation can support the hob and install a suitable dedicated supply where required.
Larger ovens and cooking equipment
Provide or upgrade the electrical supply for ovens and other fixed cooking appliances that can’t safely use a standard socket circuit.
Other fixed equipment
We can assess requests for suitable domestic equipment that needs its own electrical supply, including selected heating, garden room or home improvement systems.
What does a dedicated electrical supply involve?
The work may include:
Checking the appliance or equipment requirements
Assessing the existing consumer unit and available capacity
Planning a cable route from the consumer unit to the equipment
Installing a suitable protective device and connection point
Coordinating with the equipment installer
Testing the completed electrical work
Providing certification where required
The exact scope depends on the property, cable route and equipment specification.
Avoid delays by arranging the electrical work early
Electrical supply work is often discovered late in a project, after the equipment has been ordered or the installation date has been booked.
Contacting us early allows time to assess the route, confirm the requirements and coordinate with the other contractor.
This reduces the risk of the equipment being installed but left without a suitable power connection.
Clear responsibility between trades
We’ll confirm which part of the work SM Electrical Services is completing and what remains the responsibility of the air conditioning company, kitchen fitter or appliance installer.
This page relates to the fixed electrical supply and connection.
SM Electrical Services doesn’t supply the air conditioning unit, oven, hob or other equipment unless this has been agreed separately.
