I have recently had an extractor fan put in the bathroom, with an over-run in place of an old one. The old one was wired with the shower to come on when the shower was activated. I am told this is against regulations and it could possibly cause a fire. As I did not want to have the light come on each time I had a shower, the electrician put in a separate switch for the fan in the airing cupboard next to bathroom. This I switch on when I have a shower, switch off when I'm finished and it runs a further five minutes. No hardship.
I am told by my husband that this is rubbish and it could have been wired in with the shower switch. I go with the electrician. Can anyone enlighten me?
