How do you add additional outlets to an interior wall?

Answer this question
Answered

On one wall I have 3 dual outlets but need to plug 15 + items. I am losing power occasionally and think they are overloaded. Have cable modem, tivo, big tv, several routers, lighs, and clocks. House was built in 1978.

    you need more than just additional outlets, you'll need another set of circuit breakers ... too many 'items' are a fire hazard as well -- better be safe than sorry -- contact a licensed electrician

    Only SAFE way, call an ELECTRICIAN

    You need some of the outlets separated and put on their own breakers or new outlets wired on their own breakers. This is a job for an electrician if you never worked with electricity.
