In my family room I have a series of 3 outlets that run along the wall. The 1st outlet has a timer connected to a table lamp. The second outlet has 4 strings of XMAS lights connected to it. The 3rd outlet has our television, DVD player, and satellite receiver connected to it. In the evening everything was turned on and operating. About 3 hours into the evening, everything went off that was plugged into the 2nd and 3rd outlets. No circuit breaker tripped. Thgis morning I turned the dial on the lamp timer and everything came on.
Is there some way to "increase" the power to the 2 outlets at the end of this run? Should I run a new circuit to handle the A/V equipment? Is that something I can do myself or do I need to call a pro?
