Re: Question for an electrician - HELP!
Brian, if your breaker box is in the crawl space, and you have empty spaces for breakers, it doesn't get any easier than running some romex and setting some surface mount outlets on a dedicated circuit.
That would take the load off and wouldn't cost but a couple bucks for material. I wish I was closer, we could knock it out in no time. Even if you hired a guy to do it, it's not a big job at all. It'll take longer to drag tools back in the crawl space than to get it done. Literally. Have someone take a look at what you need done. Tell him you want a dedicated circuit and some easy to place surface mount outlets. Just a couple would help. Three would really take the load off. If you got really fancy, you could set a couple circuits worth of outlets and never have a problem again. Mind ya, I'm imagining a ranch style with the breaker box in the crawl space. Even if it's two story, breakers on the floor above the crawl space would help, I'd think. It really depends on the layout of the house and the extent of the crawl space.
