No, just looked and realised I've been running 80 amps out of a 60 amp box. It was like it when I bought the house 10 years ago. Only just noticed it and want it replacing with a new 100 amp unit.

at the end of the day you dont want to call a sparky out while you got a grow on in the house as it only takes him to be greedy or mentally switched on for him to realise what your upto n either report you to the plod or get his mates to tax ya, wait until you have harvested, delay putting the next round of plants in by a week or so n pack everything away for a day or 2 while sparky comes in n does the work, soon as hes finished put the next lot of cuts in n get going again, if you time it right you will only be delayed by a few days

is it one of those clamps that attaches fan straight to filter or just a big jubilee clip for ducting?
are you gonna run the two fans or just one and see how you go, i would imagine the two would make a fair bit of noise.
how is everybody liking the colder weather? my flexiwing reflectors are just coming out to shine, i will get an extra 20% just by changing the type of reflectors i am using. this will be the best grow of the year i reckon.

Then it sounds like your electrical circuit might shut the whole thing down for you. What would you prefer, closing your grow down so as to make your house suitable for the grow, or risk losing your house due to a fire. so you can either lose a crop so you can get safe, or you can continue running a risk and potentially lose everything including your freedom because you were too much of a cheap skate to use common sense.
You need to take a second and try acting smart.
You are too scared to get a real leccy in because he'll work out what is what, yet you think it safer to advertise on a pot forum for a llecy you know nothing about, basically sending out an invite for a cop to say hey, i'll help.
I bet you wouldn't be saying you can't shut down because it's perpetual if you learnt the police were investigating your house.
Let me guess, you're the nobody employed to be the fall guy? You cerrrtainly seem smart enough to have accepted a job like that.
