How to I get more power into my converted garage bedroom?

Posted by admin
Nick L asked:


Hi, we just recently converted our garage into a bedroom. but the problem is that there is a separate fusebox in the garage. And when you use to many appliances a fuse(I think it is a fuse) switches off and part of the electricity in the garage turns off. Is there any easy way to fix this and still being able to use all the appliances. There is a computer, a tv, direct tv box on at all times. But since it gets cold in there sometimes we have two heaters set up but can’t put them at full blast or the power switches off in the garage. If you can help it would be much appreciated!

      An electrical contractor come out and add circuit or two to the room might need service upgrade.
