Furnace installation cost

A simple installation of an electric oven, placing a new oven in the same place as the old one, will cost on average between €100 and €200. If there is no 240-volt socket in the area it goes to, an electrician will have to install one. That will add between €59 and €75 per hour to the installation cost. The cost of installing a gas cooker in a place where gas pipes already exist will be between €100 and €125 . If there are no electrics yet, the cost will be more than $200 . An oven with hob requires an extractor fan to suck moisture, odours and potentially dangerous carbon monoxide out of the house. Wall units can cost more to install because a contractor has to install an enclosure in the wall.
