Pull cord fused spur - Does such a thing exist?

What you are saying there is that in order to save a few quid per year she wants an easy way to turn the fan off even if that wrecks the decor, damages her clothes and furnishings, and risks her health.

Effectively Yes. Plus here bathroom never used to have a fan that was on 24/7 before it was renovated by the council a few years ago.

Wait, so it looks like this?!?!...

LOL, Very funny. Should the fan not have a 3 pole isolator anyway, or is that only when fed of the lighting circuit?

It's a good idea so that you can isolate it when faulty so the remainder of the circuit will work.

It's not a requirement and the frequently used reason of being able to have the light on when repairing the fan is a fatuous argument.

(0.005kW fan x 0.12P per kWhr) * 24 * 30 = 43P a month to run, or £5.18 a year.

That calculation is correct, but for future use it's much easier to remember that for items on all the time, 1 watt is £1 per year.

The better continuous extractors are 1.5W in trickle mode.

 

[EFLImpudence]

0.12P ???

 

[Spark123]

More likely £0.12

 

[eveares]

0.12P ???

Doh!, I meant to write £0.12 per kWhr. 5W is 1/200th of a kW, 12P divided by 200 = 0.06P per hour to run at 12P per kWhr. By 0.12P

 

[EFLImpudence]

I know.

I remember my son being employed to renovate council flats. He was under instructions to return all to council standard all metal faced switches and sockets replaced, all non simple pendent light fittings replaced and the ex-tenant was charged for the replacements. All the family had lights and sockets he was told to replace. The ex-tenants were not pleased with the bill but that was the agreement was no alterations. So cost is doubled one cost to fit and then cost to remove.

My family member who lives in the council flat had metallic light switches fitted by me before the flat was renovated a few years ago; I assume they did not mind as they are still there today. Also there is a fancy metallic light fitting with 6 LED G9 bulbs in the living room, don't know who fitted it, but again it has been there since the flats electrics were renovated a few years ago.

I suppose it varies by council and area of what your allowed to do.

 

[eveares]

Done. The fan is a Vectair E-Smile ES1003 with Pull cord.

Bathroom Fan.

Well - let's hope that natural justice prevails, and she gets penalised for her stupidity.

[eveares]

and she gets penalised for her stupidity.

What stupidity?, she's not at the flat full time. And the choice of fan has got nothing to do with her decisions and was not installed by her.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Likewise the decision to disable it is not within her remit.

Be told.
