Wondering if someone could help!
I’ve had an inset gas fire removed, gas capped etc.
There is a switch beside the fireplace that was for the igniter, and the wire is still in the opening. Can I add a stocket to this wire to plug a new electric fire into so that can then be the switch for switching off and on?
Or does an electric fire need a socket with bigger loading or something, like an oven does?
I thought it would be fine as the fires all seem to come with a plug so thought a normal type socket would be fine, but I’m not an expert to say the least!
