That's my problem. The whole upstairs is on one breaker. I'd like to get my room and office on their own breaker. Not just for growing, but AC would be nice this summer and as a computer programmer, I've lost several hours of work when the breaker has tripped in the past because my son was running a shop vac in his room. I'd say two things that draw alot of juice running at the same time upstairs will trip it every time. With all the empty spots for breakers in the box, I can't imagine why they would've put the whole upstairs on one breaker.
