We're renovating our kitchen in a 1960s apartment and want to install a new electric oven in a different spot. The current socket is 16A single-phase. The oven manual says it needs a 32A three-phase supply. Can I just run a cable myself or do I legally need to hire a registered electrician? What's the actual cost?
You need a registered electrician (ingeschreven bij RVO) for this job — it's not a small repair you can do yourself. Installing a new high-power oven circuit requires work on your main distribution board (groepenkast), which must comply with NEN 1010 safety standards and local building codes. Your landlord (if renting) may also need to approve structural changes. Costs typically run €400–€800 for a qualified electrician to assess the existing supply, add a new 32A circuit with proper cable, install a dedicated socket, and test everything. If your building lacks three-phase supply or needs an upgrade, add €150–€300 more.
