Hi,
I am swapping out 2 vertical radiators on my central heating system and would like to convert one that is removed into an electric one for a new extension.
What I would like to know is does this converted radiator have to be hardwired through a fused spur or can it simply be plugged in to a ring main socket. The element will be 600w and the extension is neither a wet room or bathroom so no risk of water ingress.
I have in the past used a 3kw oil filled radiator in the room on the same socket that this radiator would be plugged into when needed. Basically winter months.
Thanks in advance
