Hi all,

I have recently had a new kitchen fitted. The supplier of the kitchen
sub-contracted out the fitting, plumbing, and electrics to three different
people. In order to wire up the extractor above the hob, the electrician
took a feed from a local socket, ran it to where the extractor 'chimney'
would be, and fitted a normal white plug socket. He then plugged the
extractor in, and fitted the 'chimney' to the extractor.

Now, to me this seems a little bit dangerous. Won't there be heat/moisture
being sucked through the extractor and out the chimney, therefore close to
the plug socket? Wouldn't it have been better to wire the extractor into a
fused plate-thing somewhere away from the actual appliance?

The same electrician was due to return last night to wire up the lights in
the units, but he didn't turn up. No phone call, nothing. If this extractor
wiring is in any way dodgy, he's not coming near my house again.

Sounds fine to me ... surely the heat/moisture you are worried about is
inside the extractor ducting, and the power socket is outside it?
