Hi. I'm currently decorating one of our rooms. In that room is all my electrical equipment.
I have two wall mains plugs with an 8 gang adaptor in each. Each of those has something plugged in to it. There is also a 4 gang extension in one. So a fast chain type set up.
The equipment is largely on all the time (server, CCTV DVR, cameras, sky, TV distribution, hard drives etc!)
My question is, while the room is being done, should I wire in more wall plugs and plug in to them rather than the 8 adapters?
If so, can I take a spur from an existing socket and run from there?
Or should I have an electrician come and put a new power cable from the fuse box straight to the equipment and have a bank of 10 plug sockets?
I don't want it to be dangerous & am worried about running so much off of two sockets at the moment.
Thanks for any advice.
