The electrician is intending to splice/extend for these purposes. Is this safe?If the electrician follows the electrical code of practice, it should be safe.If you are concerned with overloading, you can ask the electrician to wire a separate branch circuit from the distribution box, though in most circumstances, you don't need to. It will cost you more to wire a separate branch circuit. Edited February 20, 2014 by Pelect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
