Cooker Hood

[carlito79uk]

Hi all,

I am in need of some advice.

I am installing a new cooker hood and wanted to know how to do it.

I have read the site and think i understand the basics but my problem is that i only seem to have one double socket off a ring main in the kitchen that i can attach a fused spur to, i have other sockets but the are either a spur or already have a fused spur attached eg boiler

I ideally wanted this one double socket that i currently have spare to spur another double socket from it so I had more sockets in the kitchen.

What i guess I wanted to know is, is there another way of wiring the cooker hood ?

Perhaps to the cooker switch/plug unit ?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Many thanks

you can stick a plug and 3A fuse on cooker hood

Ok thank you

I also wanted to put underfloor heating in the kitchen too and am aware that this is the same principle using a fused spur and a thermostat.

Any suggestions there in saving me the double plug socket ?

Cheers

extend the ring to your new double socket?

Actually for the underfloor heating .......

Can i attatch the fused spur with thermostat off to the same double plug socket that I spur another double plug socket off ?

Hope that makes sense.
