Hi everyone,
I am currently refurbishing the downstairs W/C and up until now there hasn't been any heating in there and it can get a bit nippy in the winter. So I want to put a small electric panel heater in like this one:
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DXEVX050.html
What I need advice on is where to put the isolator switch for it. I would power the heater via a flush mounted flex outlet but I don't know whether to make this a switched flex outlet or an unswitched one and have an isolator switch elswhere bearing in mind that the flex outlet will be about 1 foot above the floor. If I am to have a seperate isolator switch would I be ok putting it in the same room but higher up or would I be better putting it elsewhere completely. I could locate it in the airing cupboard upstairs which is in the bathroom directly above the W/C which has all the wiring for the central heating.
Just one other thing, with regard to regulations, does a W/C come under the same rules as a bathroom or not.
Many thanks for any help
Russell
