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

For now I connected TV to a wall plug in next room. Cable is guided trough the hole in a wall. Judging how lazy I am, Im not touching it for 5 years at least. Better solition might come up in thr meantime 😜

Thank you all for help, seems like it wasnt the best idea, but probably possible. I figured my AC is also making wird noise so thats another reason not to touch wiring until they fix it. Cheers
