Alright, I am building a room in a garage and was going to have 1400 W worth of light and run a 620 w window mounted a/c unit through the wall. I really don't want to rewire. I have a 20 Amp dedicated line in the garage already and I figured I would be able to run the 1400 w of light off this line with an extension cord to the room. (Distance from outlet to lights is less then 15') I have an adjacent spare bedroom that hardly gets used. The only electronics in this bedroom are the florescent ceiling light, dresser lamp, small 20" LCD TV, and a DVD player. If I were to drill a hole through the bedroom and into the garage and run an extension would this be okay to run the 620W A/C unit, 5 water pumps on a timer, one in line exhaust fan, and three oscillating fans? Distance from the spare bedroom outlet to my hobby room is about 20'. My main concern is if this posses a fire hazard? If anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciated. Not planning on adding anything to this room in the future. If I am to expand I will be expanding my hobby into the extra bedroom. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
