The Panasonic split system I am proposing for an upstairs bedroom is 2.5kw. I have had three quotes so far. Two want to take the supply from a spare mcb on the (new)consumer unit. I have one 6 amp and one 16 amp spare. The other one says it is no problem plugging in to upstairs socket and taking all the power from there. Upstairs is on a separate 32 amp mcb protected ring. It has very little load as no heated shower. Would just be vacuum cleaner, a shower pump and hair dryer really that would draw anything. What I really want to know is the latter acceptable/meeting regulations as I do have other plans for the two spare mcbs in the consumer unit if possible.
Electric supply for split system Air Con.

Is that the input power, or the output?
Plug into a socket then.
Hardly worth the extra expense of an additional circuit for something using less than 1kW.
