I know it is. That's why I'm wondering how much concern he has for his house! I'm actually going to throw a 20-AMP fuse back in there to replace the 30-AMP fuse he installed. However, I'm not using that circuit, so I'm not worried about it.

I'm using a separate circuit that will support my washer & dryer running at the same time. So, my rationale is that if it will support the washer/dryer at once, then it will support the 1000W HPS. From my research, a washer and dryer together would use significantly more than 1000W @ 10AMPS. So, if I use it on this circuit... and ensure that the washer/dryer are not used simultaneously, then I'll be all good.
