Home wiring

Hello,
I have my system hooked up to a socket that is on the same line as my fridge ac and heater. If I plan to re-wire that socket for a dedicated audio video system what all should I do. New ac wire, an audiophile fuse(if there is one) and a new power socket?

I am not sure I understand your post.You run your system ,A/C, a fridge and a heater off one and the same line?What is it a 15 or 20A? Even a 20A will trip with the total load.A/C requires dedicated line so do fridges and big heaters.So you must separate your system and run it off another line.Electrical wiring is not really that hard and running cable lines BUT because electricity is lethal most people rather have a licensed electrician do it.I wired my entire house and done work in other homes as well and in fact my work was neater than some pro electricians I seen.If your are not comfortable working with home wiring please do hire an electrician.
Regards
George

I just wired my Carrier high efficiency furnace to a new thermostat that is also tied to a humidistat control of my new Lifebreath whole house heat recovery ventilator,it was the first time for me to experiment to that extent with thermostats and I followed the written instructions and did with great results as everything works perfect.The thermostats are low voltage and use 18 gauge wires that come in a brown jacket.
