Kitchen expelair
Dec 8^th, 2009, 9:31pm

My son is reorganising his kitchen.

He wants to use the exisiting 16amp spur for the cooker hood for a fridge freezer, which then leaves him a problem with how to feed the new expelair which will be on the other side if the room.

My answer is a new feed off the fusebox.

His answer is a spur off the exisiting downstairs ring main, which also feeds the kithcen- some eight - ten sockets in all. There is currently one spur to the boiler electrics.

And the proper answer is??????

And anyone know how much current an expelair draws?

Thanks

As said, the load is negligable.
