Exhaust fan 4" 260 cfm

I don’t see any extra spaces in panel now I see at least one you could twin up and the other option would be running a sub panel of the main panel
Not sure how much work you looking you do tho
Does your husband know about electrical work ?

Could I run a Romex line from wall plug on side wall & just hook into it?

Thank you so much. We rode it out with all my neighbors in tow! Just have to deal with flooding

I’m won’t advise that it be just like using a extension cord
But if your on a spectate circuit you could get a heavy duty extension cord I guess @Laurap

I agree with cb @Laurap. The term extension cord is used very loosely. Some extension cords are plenty capable of withstanding every bit of your household circuits and them some.

If you bought a cord using 12awg conductors that looked to have robust plugs on it, should do fine. I would just try not to buy any longer of a cord than is needed.

The only option in that panel I see you have is 1- single 15 amp breaker on the left side by two of the mini breakers like you’re already in there and run a 15 amp circuit over to your room and have your existing 15 amp circuit for whatever it goes two now

That’s exactly what I saw as well @Hogmaster
Or installing a sub panel and moving a bunch of stuff over ?
But :+1: That one if full for sure @Laurap

Great Advice CB; For those with electrical savvy. :slight_smile:
I came into convo to comment on extension chords. As you mentioned use 12 guage wire and hook up a breaker or better yet; Hook up a switch box at the end and leave the new breaker in the panel.

Anyway, back to extension chords. You can use an extension chord if it is a 12 gauge extension chord. Same with compressors. Up until recently, you could not run an air compressor on an extension chord…Unless it was a heavy duty 12 gauge chord and 12 gauge can carry the current that 14, 16, and smaller gauges cannot.

Another extension chord option that works is to buy washing machine extension chords (12 gauge), from you appliance center.

Most importantly. Be careful Chords that do work may get hot to the touch. Be careful

Hope this helps. Good job helping to all; Peace, lw

I truly appreciate your help with getting my 2nd grow room up & going.

I do have one more question. I’m venting exhaust under house so I’ve already have two holes cut into floor. Can I use a Y to connect ducts outta both exhausts into the one duct going to the floor

I don’t see why you couldn’t. @Laurap

Remember that the air will take the path of least resistance. If one fan is turned off, the fan that is running could blow air into the other tent.
