Greetings,
A few quick questions on the Electrical fires available from the big stores.
- Is it possible to simply connect a 13A plug to the flex and off you go? I notice that B and Q have the following line on most all their Electric Fires.
"We recommend Electrical Fires be fitted by a qualified electrician".
But with one of their branded fires (Landscape, just under 200 quid I think), there's a line stating "Simple plug-in operation". To me, that implies simply sticking a plug on the unit, as opposed to connecting to a FCU. I have double socket either side of the chimney breast and I would prefer to simply plug a fire in rather that having to go the trouble of fitting a FCU.
The question is, if you can do that with the above fire, can you do that for most fires of similar Power ratings. The above gives out 1.9KW of heat. Is this therefore the power rating of the appliance.
Second question - Can you bury the flex which comes attached to the unit into the wall? Any safety issues regarding this?
Thanks in advance.
