Hi,
Currently renovating my terraced house, this site is proving very valuable to me
I had a gas fire fitted in the dining room and was about to have one fitted in the front room, my plumber refused to do the job when he saw the state of the chimney stack inside, wasn't willing to install a gas fire in case loose bricks etc fell and blocked the flu or punctured the gas pipe. Which fare enough I understand and was wondering how he was going to do it. He advised me to get and electric fire as the only option available other than getting a builder in to fix the chimney.
So i've now got a Focal Point pebble style electric fire, will do the job I need it to do.
Now heres the question, can I use the flex from the fire to wire into a 13A DP Sw FCU? if not whats the best option?
i've spent a good few weeks moving water pipes so they are no longer visible, had gas pipes moved from view, i don't want at this stage to see the flex from the fire across the floor to the nearest socket so i thought of doing the above. Flex would come through the chimney around the alcove and to the FCU next to a double socket. total distance is roughly around 3 meters thats being generous!!
Any help will be appreciated
Regards
Gareth
