Hi all,
As the subject implies I'm looking for advice on installation of an air con unit in my home workshop.
Its a SIP panel construction workshop I built myself. I wired it myself including the armoured cable then had an electrician come in and connect all the ends, certify, etc. All cable internally runs through simple ducting.
Although toasty in the winter I've been struggling to work during the days with the heat we've been having this summer so decided to buy a split air conditioner. It's 9000btu and is possible to run off a plug using a 13 amp fuse. I have a spare space in my consumer unit though so thought the more sensible option would be to run a 2.5mm cable from there with a 16a mcb.
Just wanted to check with the experts and see if this really is the best thing to do. Thanks for any advice.
