What we do

Our household appliances services

Main service

Every heavy appliance on its own circuit

The AREI requires a separate circuit for your hob, oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, each with its own breaker in the consumer unit. That way your fuse won't trip when two appliances are running at once. Ahmed runs the cable in neatly and labels the circuit in the unit.

  • A separate circuit for each hob, oven, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher
  • Its own breaker and RCD on every circuit
  • Labelled circuits in the consumer unit
  • Any appliance drawing 2,600 W or more gets its own circuit, no exceptions

Hob and oven: the right cable and protection

An induction hob draws a lot of power. Ahmed uses XVB cable sized to the appliance and fits a type A RCD, because a standard type AC device can't reliably catch induction. The hob is fitted flush into the worktop, with as little cutting work as possible.

  • XVB cable with a cross-section matched to the power rating
  • Type A RCD for the induction hob
  • Hob fitted flush into the worktop
  • Oven connected to its own circuit

Washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher

A washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher belong on an earthed socket with an earth pin (type E), each on its own circuit with a 30 mA RCD. Ahmed sets the appliances side by side or stacked and hides the wiring away so everything sits neatly.

  • Earthed socket with earth pin (type E)
  • 30 mA RCD on every circuit
  • Appliances set side by side or stacked
  • Wiring hidden away, a clean finish

Inspection and VAT

Every new or extended installation must be inspected by an accredited inspection body before it's put into use; Ahmed hands the work over inspection-ready. The installation work falls under 6% VAT if your home is at least 10 years old; the appliance itself is always charged at 21%.
