Although many household use electric ovens and hobs, many house holds prefer the even heat and precise controls that gas appliances offer. Gas appliances are cheaper to run and if you're still not convinced ask any professional chef if he uses electric over gas! If you're installing a new kitchen it's important to remember the plumbing first fix. Don't make the mistake of installing your new cabinets and appliances with the plumbing as an after-thought. This is especially the case when re-locating a sink or any of your major appliances such as washing machines and Dishwasher. Save yourself time, money and upheaval by carry out the installation and routing of any new pipe work before you install any new cabinet or appliances. Ideally if possible this work should be carried out when your old kitchen is removed.
