    • Am I correct to assume that the A/C and fridge can’t or shouldn’t share the same circuit?
    • If my landlord claims everything looks good, can I trust them or does the noise (and its potential causes) warrant escalating the issue?
    • If they tell me I simply can’t have the A/C on that outlet because of the refrigerator, can I use the extension cord instead? It’s 14 gauge and explicitly marketed for large appliances, but I’ve also read a lot about how it’s not a good idea to use an extension cord for air conditioners.

    All fixed appliance are required to have a dedicated circuit but given the age of your house its not surprising that it isnt. At a minimum your LL should have had the other outlet removed and blanked off.

     

    Your LL should get an EC out to look at it but if he wont I would recommend you do get one your self, depending on where you live a 1-2 hour service call will run you about $150-$300.

     

    Your AC really should be on its own circuit but not much you can do, if I had to use an extension cord I would use one thats atleast 12 or 10.  I also recommend you buy an outlet tester and verifiy that all the outlets are wired correctly or If you have an EC come out they can do that fairly quickly

    I had a 1080 I sold last summer hoping to fetch a decent price before the next Gen cards came out. Of course this was right before the mining craze :|

     

    Anyway, I got a major itch to play some Farming Sim so I bought a 1070ti for roughly $100 more than I sold my 1080 for last summer. 

     

     

    I would be srupid not to return it and wait for an 1170, right? It’ll be a 10% restocking fee but I think that is the right move? 

    Depends, how long can you wait?
