So my grow room only has one single duplex electrical socket available. Right now I’m relying on power strips and it’s making me uncomfortable. I do have a fire sprinkler system but still, the last thing I want to do is soak my entire setup in the event of a fire emergency. I’m also not sure i trust that old sprinkler! My room has its own sub panel separate from the house. I’m trying to figure out what my options are. Is a hardwired power strip just as safe as installing multiple duplex outlets on the same breaker? My lights are on their own separate 240v circuit but I’ve still got AC, fans, humidifiers, an air pump, etc all hooked up to power strips. I’m constantly checking the strips and power cords for heat and haven’t noticed any but it still bothers me. Can extension cords safely be plugged into these hardwired power strips or should I just install a bunch of standard duplex outlets?
