Xpelair Kitchen Fan
I am having a new double glazed kitchen window fitted. The company will fit a fan which I supply - it will not be connected up to electricity supply. I am thinking of an Xpelair GX6 Axial. Does anyone have any feedback on such a device. The other point is : Would it be acceptable to not have it permanently wired in - but to have it plugged in to a 13Amp socket which is adjacent. I would obviously fasten cable back to wall and make neat job of it. |

However there's no mention of fitting it with a plug in the leaflet that came with it for some reason. But then all it is after all, is just another appliance at the end of a lead. To use the technical term. michael adams .... |

Yes agree - BUT won't that need part P certifying or whatever correct terminology is. |

Does anyone have any feedback on such a device. We put a wall mounted version in about a year ago and it's been fine. and reasonably quiet. Build quality seems OK too. -- Mike Clarke |
