After 2 years, circuit with Refrigerator + 2 Computers is tripping. Causes?
Starting yesterday, while my wife and I were on our respective computers, the circuit tripped. Upon resetting it, it tripped again after what seemed only 10-15 minutes. Tried again this morning for work and it tripped after about 20, maybe 30, minutes.
Last night, when this was first happening, she got off her PC and I was able to stay on for another hour or so with no problem. To see if it's an issue of overloading the circuit vs a faulty device, we'll test out only her PC today and then mine tomorrow to see if it still trips with only one PC on it.
Any theories on the causes here? Could there be a better solution than just moving things to another circuit? Can you add more circuits/upgrade their capacity?
Additional Context: We've been using this set up since we moved in 2 years ago and had no problems until now. We both work from home and in a townhouse, so the kitchen+living space is an open concept and why our computers are close enough to the refrigerator to be on the same circuit.
I won't say that this newly built townhome is good quality (are any really?) so could definitely be a case of faulty/cheap circuits (and/or poor wiring). Previously, another circuit in the house was having issues with just a TV, PS5 and robot vacuum station until ultimately the circuit died and had to be replaced. Local electricians replaced it and just advised to not have those running at the same time.
