Looking for a cheap electrician that can come to my house and help my breakers keep popping....... stockton manteca modesto California
No no no hook-ups of any kind on GC... I'm sure you can find someone near you through friends etc. Sometimes the guys at places like Home Depot who specialize in a particular department will do work on the side for cheap. Also they sometimes have job boards or can recommend someone. If you are talking about bringing in someone to an existing grow area that you can't hide, then that's a different story -- you shouldn't bring in someone for that whether you found them at Home Depot or on GC, only from a source that you personally trust very much or wait until you can break down your grow. In the meantime, you might be able to run an extension cord from another room (assuming it's on another circuit) to serve your needs now.
just from what he has explained, you're drawing more amperage then your current breakers can handle. if you have the time/patience, i suggest you go to home depot, buy 2 pole 20 amp breaker, some 12/3 awg romex. TURN THE MAIN BREAKER OFF! remove the old breakers and wire, install the new breakers and wire. this will give you 2 20 amp circuts dedicated for your grow space.. like toasty said either hide your plants and hire an electrician, or shut it down long enough for you to do it yourself.
