Question: I just got a nordictrack treadmill. How safe is it in an older house (1920's but updated) Im worried.?
Question Description:
I have this new big treadmill, and my sister said not to have the computer going at the same time i run it, they would be sharing the surge protector. How safe is it to run the treadmill with other appliances on at the same time. I have circuit breakers outside. If there was a problem, would it happen as I use it, and not later like when Im at work. I have pets and worry, thats mainly why. I don't want to endanger them as Im away. The treadmill looks huge and I had to put it in my livingroom, I tucked it into the corner. Is there any other advice I can have about electricity.. or how to run it, so that Im always safe. Thank you very much for reading this far. I would appreciate hearing from people who have treadmills, or know about electricity and appliances and such. Just asking to be safe, safe is better than sorry!Los Angeles, CA

Answer#1: only run one major appliance or item on each plug or unit of plugs...if the electrical capacity is not up to par you risk over loading and heating the wires.....causing an outage and can even burn up the wires/melt them. Be careful of what you run on each circuit....something like a nordic track may need a circuit all its own...we installed a direct box line for ours since it would dim the room lights each time it was used.....BE CAREFUL!!!
