I have a refrigerator in my garage that has been plugged into a wall socket with an
Extension cord for several years. It draws 12 amps. The only circuit breaker that shuts off this socket is a 60 amp main.
I want to move the fridge to the opposite wall but the socket there is controlled by a 15 amp breaker that has at least 3 amps of lights already so I am pushing the limit.
Is my best bet to have an electrician put another socket drawing from the one from the 60 amp socket on the other wall?
