Hi
Customer has an extractor fan that’s inside the shower cubicle high up on the wall. The extractor fan has no form of isolation and is wired into the socket circuit not the lighting circuit (I have never seen this set up before) and hasn’t been fused down. So because of the way the extractor fan has been wired spured off the ring socket with no switch/isolation the fan runs 24/7.
The option to resolve the issue with the fan constantly running and the fact it hasn’t been fused I was thinking of identifying the fed (from the living room next door assuming) to the extractor fan installing a new 3amp fused switch (next to the switch in the sitting room) for the fan. I would have attempted to connect the fan to the lighting circuit and add an isolator but the walls are tiled and this would cause a lot of damage.
Please let me know if I have missed something or a better way of doing this.
Thanks in advance
