Hi all, I'm new here and was searching google about electrical problems and this forum popped up and I've read many of the threads here, but really need to start my own thread with my electrical issue that someone may help me.
Back story..
I've been living in this house for the last 8 years. Same things are plugged in and its the same routine every year.
2 small bedrooms are on 1 30 amp breaker.
*There are FIVE 30 amp single breakers in the fuse panel (not counting the doubles and others)
Normal items in each room consist of a tv, stereo, computer, clocks (normal bedroom stuff)
During the winter, each room has a 120v lasko oil heater
During the summer, each room has a 120v 5-6000 btu window ac
Been this way for years.
There are three outlets in the main bedroom (I will be talking about, since my daughter hasn't been home to run any electrical items in her room)
One outlet normally only runs the heater during the winter. After winter, its unplugged and stored away.
Another outlet runs a clock, laptop charger and a lamp.
Another outlet runs (and I know this is bad):
Surge protector with speaker power, modem and window a/c
Surge protector with computer, printer, router, fan (extension cord that leads to another surge protector that has tv, tivo, gaming console, stereo and a small fan)
Been like this for years, never any problems.
Last few nights, I've been losing power. Check the breaker, not tripped. I manually flip it, nothing happens. I go around and unplug everything and flip it, and it works again.
I plug everything back in and it will work for hours.. Then fail.
I find it odd that normally, even during the hottest parts of the summer, I can run both a/cs and all these electronics and never have a fail. But I turn on one a/c and run for a couple of hours and its now failing and won't come back on until I unplug everything..
Ideas? Bad cords? Bad surge protector? Deadly wiring?
