Title: Add to Central Heating Switch
Post by Partick Girl on Jun 22^nd, 2017, 9:43am

Hello Ask The Trades [smiley=wave.gif]

I have a central heating on/off switch on a wall that has no other sockets. Will it be possible for an electrician to fit socket next to it? This:

I currently have my fridge next to it, but have to run an extension cable to the other side of the kitchen to power it.

Thanks for your help, and have a great day!

Alison, Glasgow

Unfortunately it's impossible to say without identifying where the circuit is fed from, the cables size and protective device :-/
