I want to swap a ceramic hob for another model.
My current set is: oven and a hob rated at 2075+6000=8075W in total ,they go through a 32Amp Circuit breaker, the oven is plugged to the wall, the hob is hard wired.
The new hob is 6500W, 2075+6500=8575W this should be fine considering circuit diversity. Is this a straight job (wire the new hob) or should I get an electrician to actually upgrade the circuit breaker?
Kitchens – install a new hob, or will I need a larger circuit

Straight up. If you only work on the cooktop and do not go into the wall circuits, fair game.
