I looked at both. Not to mention the quality of the work.
The practicality is in fact a regulation (see my post on that..), but Dave wanted actual regulations to throw at them as opposed to an untrained customer saying "that's not how I think it should be".

I've complained about the practica aspect to them as well, but wanted to know if hard wiring a device like an aircon to an existng power point circuit was even legal.

Considering you described this circuit as being 'half the house', I'd go with 'no' via 1.6.5 as I posted before. There's a whole informative appendix on circuit arrangements covering load factors and diversity which I didn't feel like fully grokking last night which would probably back that. I can send you a copy if you feel like absorbing 611 pages. Obviously the work is condemnable on numerous other points anyway.

"2 This Clause need not apply to unitary window or through-wall
airconditioners, nor to heat pump hot water services that are supplied
by a plug and socket-outlet installed adjacent to the unit.".

This unit would not be classed as a "through window" or "through wall" unit, it's a "split system".

Quite. 4.19 seems pretty clear cut on this subject.

Not really.
I'll wait for a response from them.

I'm not sure that the powers that be would be entirely thrilled to see a copy of the latest version of AS/NZ 3000 especially as they lke to flog it off for $A220.

I'd suggest that the mods of this forum get rid of that post before shit hits the fan.

The greedy bastards wouldn't be losing anything, so they can get over it. It's readily available via much easier and faster methods than contacting me..

I was actually commenting upon the link that GlennSprigg put up on the first page of this thread which has the full document. That could get this site into legal difficulties.
