We were concerned about having a fridge and a standup freezer on the same outlet in the garage and had an electrician come out and run a separate outlet with a larger circuit breaker or whatever. No problems with it so far. The two allow for extra beverages and buying of meat in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco (hurry up and open up in The Villages, Costco!) for us. I'm sure it costs us extra electricity to run them but I think we're saving money by buying in bulk and certainly gaining much in convenience. Of course, if we lose electricity for a few days sometime and lose a freezer full of meat, we'll probably be singing a different tune!
