Gas connections and licences

Gas hobs need a licensed LP gas installer. Local installers describe themselves that way and promise that their work complies with South African legal regulations and industry standards, so ask any installer to show a licence and give you a written quote. One hob maker also publishes guidance on the costs and safety of gas installation for hobs. Electric and induction models need a suitable power point, so check the connection before you order.

Warranty and consumer rights

Warranty periods depend on the brand. Bosch publishes its warranty periods for South Africa and asks buyers to read the full terms, while LG offers free repair within its warranty period. The warranty a company gives is separate from the legal rights consumers have under South African law.

Goods bought abroad fall outside the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), and an international warranty is not transferable, so buy from a local seller if you want local cover.

Season and kitchen planning

October is spring here. Summer runs from December to February, the warmest months, when an oven and hob work hardest in a hot kitchen. Plan the installation for October or November so the kitchen is ready before the summer.

What to write in the request

Name the item (oven, hob, or a set), the heating type (gas, electric, induction or ceramic), the cabinet size in cm, the colour, and the make and model if you know them. Say whether you want new or used, whether you need delivery and connection, add your city, and state your budget in rand.
