Thanks guys. I'm going to have the electrician come. I think I'll get the landlord involved too because I'm not going to add a dedicated circuit.

Do you know if the electrician will be able to do all of the work from the breaker box or will he have to inspect the outlets on the circuit?

I'm just going to repair the dead circuit and not get a dedicated circuit installed. I have a circuit for the washer and dryer and I'm just going to use that. If it can run the washer and dryer at the same time then I'm sure it can handle the 1000W. I run everything else (2 fans) to a different circuit. And I will only run the washer/dryer when lights are off. I don't know, I guess I may talk to the electrician when he's here and see if he can install another one if its not too expensive. I understand the peace of mind that comes with KNOWING.
lampost Reviewed by lampost on . Fried a circuit (Rental house) PLEASE HELP!!! Shit, I'm so bummed right now. I just started my first, LEGAL medical grow. I'm using a 1000W HPS that a friend gifted me. I was a little worried that might be a bit much since I'm in an old 1930s house with pretty shitty wiring! And I was correct. Today, I was running the HPS and my GF put some popcorn in the microwave and BAM, everything stops... microwave, fridge, HPS! I go out to the circuit breaker and flip all of the circuits. That circuit will not come back on!!! I'm freaked Rating: 5
