Bathroom fan heater

[briwy]

Here in the UK we have a an electric wall mounted bathroom fan heater operated by a pull switch which gives instant heat.

In France we have the usual convector heater which takes ages to heat up.

Is there any reason why we cant use one of these fan heaters in France and just wire up to it via a wall mounted terminal box and trunking from the convector feed?

Existing convector is 1Kw same as the fan heater so existing wiring should be OK.

Thanks

Yes you can, although I wouldn't use a UK one (probably wouldn't be approved for use in France), and they are dirt cheap in the Brico's here

We got one from Argos in UK and installed it fine.  Works great no problem (better half is an electrician so knows what he is doing).
