Hi,
I am looking to get a new double socket installed by an electrician to serve a new free standing fridge freezer. This is on an empty wall with no kitchen cupboards etc. here. It should be able to be spurred from existing socket on the other side of the wall in the dining room,, but where is the best place for the new socket?.
Any issues with it being behind the fridge / freezer? - e.g. would it get hot from heat from rear of appliance? It would also mean appliance sticks out of wall further?
Should it be at the side at low level (as other sockets in property), so just a minor bit of flex visible?. This would be good as the other socket would be used for outdoor garden tools etc. The existing ring socket is RCD protected. Also, is it ok for the spur cable to run horizontally through the wall from the existing socket on the other side?
Thanks
