ooooh a new stove - I love new appliances!

Is the new stove a gas stove or electric?
If its gas then yeah you will need to have a gasfitter to do it. Lots of plumbers do gasfitting work too. If you have the gas cook top already then you'd obviously have a gas outlet there already and you should be able to just use it for the new stove however the gasfitter should check it to make sure its ok enough to service your new stove. The exact logistics of it really depends on where on the oven the gas connector thing is (ie: at the top, or at the bottom) and the make/model of the stove as differnt manufactors can differ apparently. I'm guessing the gas stove will also be connected to electricity to power the light, the ignition etc. I dont know, I suppose the gasfitter could sort that out too?

If its electric then you'll need a sparkie to do it. I dont know if you'd need a gasfitter also to remove the current one - probably? I believe the stove needs to be put on a seperate circuit to other things, and it usually needs to be hardwired into the wall, its not just a power point plug that you plug into the wall, so you'd def need a sparkie for that.

I want to get a new stove too (i think mine is about to pack it in really soon!) but it all just seems to hard and I cant be bothered dealing with it at the moment, LOL!!!
