Will this cause a fire?
Hey everyone,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. My home is around 80 years old and the wiring has been updated. I use one of the upstairs bedrooms as my office and have my computer, a television, a phone, speakers and couple of misc items plugged into a decent Monster-brand surge protector. I recently added a nice laser printer to the mix and had to plug it into the same wall outlet that the surge protector is in. When I did this, I noticed that the overhead room light starts to slightly flicker in cycles. So far, it hasn't tripped the breaker, but am I putting to much of a load on it? I don't want anything to catch fire. Could the problem be remedied plugging it into a different outlet in the same room? Not much of an electrician myself so any help / advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!! |
