Re: New guy! Stupid questions incoming!
Dammit,
Save your self some money!! Measure the distance from you electrical panel to where you want the plug for your oven. I'd start with a used kitchen oven. Buy the plug and the pigtail for the oven.
Talk to your electrician and advise him of the length of the electrical run, he will also need the amperage of the oven (can normally be found on the plate attached to the oven).
He will advise you of what size wire, and circuit breaker you need. Tell him the make of your main electrical panel, (square D, and GE are common ones) he will need that also. Check your main panel and see if there are open slots for the new circuit breaker.
Ask him if he will make the connections if you run the wire. They may have a minimum charge so you may want to contact more that one.
