Surrey & Sussex Heating Ltd Gas Cookers and Gas Hob Installation

THE ADVANTAGE OF A GAS COOKER

A Gas Cooker has the advantage of creating a damp heat which can keep food moist whilst it is cooking. Although the heat distribution can become uneven by rising to the top, it does allow food to be cooked simultaneously at different temperatures.

​

THE ADVANTAGE OF A GAS HOB

The advantage that the heat source is highly visible when lit, reducing the risk of accidents. The pan supports are usually made from enamel or cast iron - enamel supports can be cleaned in a dishwasher, but become brittle over time. Iron supports are far more durable, but can't be put in a dishwasher due to the risk of rusting.

​

FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE (FSD)

From 1st January 2008 all gas cooking appliances for use in flats and other multi-dwelling buildings cannot be installed unless they contain Flame Supervision Device. A flame supervision device is part of the gas burner system and detects if the flame is extinguished and cuts off the gas supply. Our installation team will be unable to fit any cooking appliance into a flat or multi dwelling building if it is not fitted with this device. Speak to one of our Gas Safe qualified engineers to check if your appliance meets this regulation.
