Hi, i have just purchased a bathroom wall heater which needs to be hard wired with the mains electricity via a 13A spur.
I already have a live switch on the wall outside the bathroom which is wired directly from the 30A fuse in the fuse box which was originally used to supply a shower when i first moved into the property, i no longer have the shower or anything else wired to it so basically it is just a heavy gauge cable running from the 30A fuse in the fuse box to a switch on the wall with nothing between.
Firstly, would this circuit be ok to run my 1.8kw heater from?
Secondly, if so can i just remove the switch which is already there (after i have made sure the electricity is turned off and the circuit is isolated) and replace it with a 13A fused switch from which i can then run another cable to the heater?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.
