Hey guys, Im in the process of moving to a new place. The wall where I want to mount TV doesnt have any power socket, but there is indoor A/C unit just next to it. Can I just connect a power strip cable to A/C unit terminals and use it as a socket for my LCD TV? Is there any risk Im not aware of?

I live in EU and have 220V AC mains. AC is ~1kW indoor unit and also ~1kW outdoor unit. TV is just regular 43" LCD.

I have a general knowledge about electricity (high school), but have no experience with A/C units.

Cheers

Oh damn, thank you. I wasnt thinking about that tbh. I guess the answers would not be much different.

In Croatia, you can barely find window AC units and if you do its usually because they didnt have enough room for split unit or its just not allowed to mount outdoor unit on the facade
