[QUOTE="Slateral, post: 545119, member: 34849"] I’m requesting quotes for installing a multi outdoor ac unit on the house wall to cool 2 rooms indoors. One quote received so far proposes installing a 20A mcb fitted to spare slot on box currently providing power to a workshop in the garden and seems a sensible way to go. Another installer has proposed taking the power from a double socket (either in the lounge downstairs or in the bedroom upstairs ) on the ring main and drilling through the wall behind the socket to run power through the wall, and fitting a waterproof socket on the external wall to provide power. Downstairs ring main has a 32A mcb, upstairs a 16A mcb, so I am assuming upstairs is out anyway. Is this approach worthy of any consideration at all? It’s less costly and avoids external cabling from my garage, hence my query. [/QUOTE]
