two heaters, one plug?

Post by psidriven »

I ran out of sockets on my relay box. is it safe to have two heaters on the plug and two powerheads on another plug using power strips?

thanks. what is a safe amp/volt limit for each outlet? probably do the same thing for my powerheads, though they probably use less juice than the heaters.
