A friend who's moving has offered me her upright freezer and I'd love to have it. However, I already have a fridge-freezer and I'm a bit worried about plugging them both into the same power point. I've read online that using both at the same time could blow the circuitry. My Proline fridge-freezer is about 10 years old and the new freezer (a Beko FFG1545W) was bought a few months ago. I've included what info on the products that I've got (I won't be able to get more on the Beko from my friend for at least a week) - being new to DIY and newer to electrical stuff, I don't know how to work out the amps from this.
Would I be OK to use them with a 13amp double-socket adaptor (the cube-shaped type) or should I get the socket rewired to have two independent sockets? If rewiring is needed, some idea of the cost involved would be appreciated. I'm in the UK. Thanks.
