Looking into fitting one of these at the far end of the house

Found a 3kw one that looks ok.

Plumbing shouldn't be a problem.

Elecs - thinking 13a plugs are nono, so a spur to a FCU from a
nearby socket should do? Double pole switch?

Electrically, what do I need to check (& how) before proceeding?
Perhaps make sure the socket I would be spurring from is on a
circuit protected by a 32A breaker?
RCD "required"?

Er... Any other pointers please?


Just the one.

A undersink water heater is a lot better

eg

depending on your intended use.

Heh. There was an Ariston undersink heater in the garage when we moved
it. As soon as I switched it on it tripped the RCD. I took it apart but
couldn't see anything obviously wrong (element shorting to earth
maybe?). So it had to go.

I got it replaced with an instant-heat Triton. It was, and still is 6
years on, perfect for what I needed - just hand washing after getting
grubby in the garage or garden.
