Shouldn't be a problem at all - but make sure you get a qualified person to fit it. I made this change myself, and am much happier with my electric oven - works way better than gas!

Technically there is no problem in doing this. The new hob will take the old gas supply so nothing to blank off BUT make sure you have a suitable powerpoint for the electric oven - there might not be one sitting handy. A lot of people remove the old electric power point and tile/plaster over where they were when they put all gas in.

You should be ok, but remember that the oven will draw less current than a complete electric cooker. For best protection you should change the cooker spur MCB in your consumer unit for one of the right value. If the cooker switch has a kettle socket which you may use for a kettle, then consider a 20A MCB. Be aware of the requirements of BS7671 (second amendment edition) and the Building Regulations Part P. These place strict controls on what you may do to your domestic wiring. Don't attempt to do any gas work unless you are CORGI registered, even 'plugging in' your hob to an existing gas 'socket'. If anything went wrong your insurance company won't be very pleased with you.

If you are in the UK you MUST have a CORGI registered person to blank off the old oven and although its quite an easy job to do, for peace of mind get them to take out and then install your new hob. Fitting an electric oven is very easy stuff, but dont mess about with gas, its not worth you and the house going up to save about £80.

OK if you have a gas connection you can change over (ie a bayonet type).
Also, electric oven will need its own seperate 30A supply back to the fuse/breaker box.
So you may need a Corgi registered fitter to install it.

yes but get a qualified gas man(person) to install it, as it's easy to gas yourself.

Yes it is fine, provided you have electricity in your house.
