Hello, im not a sparky but just wanted to pick someones brain.
Ive just got a hot tub cheap from a friend and going to get an electrician to wire it up.
My problem is that im a mid terrace and my fuse box is at the front of the house hot tub in the back.
I dont have the option to run a wire from the fuse box without ripping half the house apart. I have a utilty room at the back and wondered if a fused spur or something could be run off the plug in the utility room.
The fuse in the fuse box for the utility room us 32amp but also runs half the sockets in the house.
The hot tub is 5.5kw and 15 meters from fuse box and 4 meters from utility room plug.
Can the 32 amp fuse be upgraded or something?
Is there any way round it so I dont have to run a new wire direct from the fuse box?
thanks in advance for any help
