not sure what im talking about- electrical?

hi guys , im ready to setup my grow, im just worried about the power, my upstairs runs off one 15amp breaker, how easy is it to add another for the grow, because my amps will overload it, can i have an idiots guide on how to add one please, also my power box is on the extension so i curious how the cable would be took, the extension is ground floor with flat roof , god knows how i would feed a cable to the first floor without it showing, ive never done electrics so need any advice please , thankyou

if you have never done it, i suggest finding someone who has. OR find a online electrical class. Would hate for you to electrocute yourself.

You DIY eagerness is admirable. DO NOT DO IT YOUR SELF.

electricity is nothing for a novice to get involved in. think of more than your desire. what about other people, the building owner, the neighbors?

Get a trained and licensed electrician and live to grow vast quantities to cover the cost.

what exactly am i asking for if you understood my question?, is it a a new breaker or powerline , sorry for being a doush

Get an electrician to do it, they don;t need to know why? By the questions your asking you should not attempt this.

regards,

Contact an electrician and tell them you need a 15 amp circuit added to your existing service. they will get you set up.

electrician's aren't usually cheap, but look on craiglist or pennysaver for someone who needs work.

what are the boards called with plugsockets on them, i know you can buy them but cant remember the name, i know my questions are stupid because ive reread them lol, but ive got noone else to ask , thankyou

Depending on the age of your house you are looking for a Fuse Box or Breaker Panel.

Absolutly right, I am a electrican and im telling you you do not want to be the cause of your house burning down. And its just too much to try walking you through it online. Get a quailified person. Good Luck

I agree with everybody else, don't do it yourself. 115VAC can be deadly, and easily starts fires.

Got a stoner/beer friend that knows something about splitting 220VAC? If not, I truly have to say, hire a real electrician. Or - reduce your grow until it can run on the existing 15A service.

Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Get a electrician. Not knowing what your doing isn't that bad. But doing it wrong is. You have a 15 amp breaker so you have 16-14 gauge wires. So bumping that to a 30 will overload the wires before poping the breaker. In other words lighting a fuse but not knowing where the TNT is. And up gose the house. Be safe.

You should not exchange a 15 amp breaker with a 30 amp breaker, for one thing the wire to it is only raided to 15 amps, if you change to 30 amps you wire will get too hot and could cause fire. Everyone is right, you should not fool with elect if you don't know anything abt it.
