How to measure for a new cooker or oven
It’s important to know where your fridge will fit and how you want it brought into your home. Taking accurate measurements for both delivery and installation before you order will save you time and energy—and potentially a headache
Measure the space you want to put your new cooking appliance in. You want to find the maximum height, width, and depth and account for any potential baseboards, trim, or uneven floors.
Note tight entryways and narrow hallways in your home for delivery. Use the measurements you gathered earlier to ensure that your new cooking appliance can make it into your kitchen.

Energy efficiency and running costs
Understanding energy efficiency could save you money on your electricity bills. What’s more, energy-efficient machines are kinder to the environment. The most energy-efficient dishwashers have an energy rating of A since 1st March 2021.
Every cooker and oven has an energy rating, ranging from A for the most energy efficient to B for the least efficient.

Understanding energy efficiency could save you money on your electricity bills. What’s more, energy-efficient machines are kinder to the environment. The most energy-efficient dishwashers have an energy rating of A since 1st March 2021.
There are many different factors that determine the annual running costs of a dishwasher but as mentioned previously the most important factor is the size of the dishwasher and the number of places settings that the dishwasher can hold. Although a dishwasher may be A-rated the size of the dishwasher can determine how much it costs on your electricity bill.
For example, an A-rated dishwasher that can fit 4 place settings within it (31kg dishwasher) will cost you an average £36.20 per year on your energy costs. An A-rated dishwasher that can fit 7 place settings within it (42kg dishwasher) will cost you £50 per year on your energy bills. An A-rated dishwasher that can fit 9 place settings within it (50kg dishwasher) will cost you £58.70 on your electricity bills per year and a 14-place setting dishwasher (68kg dishwasher) will cost you £80 per year.
