When I first moved into my apartment I had an "electrician" (unsure re his qualifications) add a 2 pronged power outlet to our lounge for our TV (no high wattage items)
Instead of running new wiring from the fuse box he used the "old" wires from the socket where we previously had an electric heater. (more on this later). The plug itself works perfectly after 3 years and I've had no issues with it. When I move out how do I make it clear that the fuse box switch would be that of the heaters and not the plugs for the rom? Would a sticker / sign be enough? Or should I be running new wires from the fuse box?
Now this heater itself is now connected the power supply of another heater both approx 1200w. The electrican wired it through the wall as there was a electric heater in the bedroom exactly opposite so they both share the same supply. Again I've never had any issues with this. The main issue now is the fuse for this is linked to the bedroom heater.
Finally I want to flip the plug (coincidently it will be in the same storage room as the fuse box and water storage heater) and a switch so it is on the opposite side of the plasterboard? Is this legal? The switch itself connects to the kitchen lights but the light switch is currently on the lounge side of the room.
How much of this is "code/building regs". The reason I ask is I will be moving out soon and may be selling or renting and dont want to be putting anyone in danger.
