hey,

Well depending how you have it hooked up it should be alright.. The actual powerpoint is 10 amp 2400 watt rated but the fuse for a whole heap of those switches may only be 15 amp 3600 watts. What you need to do is pull the fuses out of the powerbox and see what turns off.. When you find out what turns off when your grow does you know what else is on that circuit..

Then list them all down

Fridge - 660watts x 24 hours

Grow -- 400 watts x 20 hours 200 watts 24 hours

Television -- 400 watts x 4 hours

 

total 1660 watts maximum at any given time so it will be fine..If its too high you can use washine machine etc at off times to not overload the power... The longer the cord is from the powerpoint is the more the power will cost aswell so a neat electical setup is not only safer but cheaper too.
