We just purchased a refrigerator for our garage.
Our current configuration is this:
With the alarm system plugged in, there is not enough space to plug in the refrigerator power cord.
So my question is this: Given the current setup, can I mount a surge protector/power strip to the wall, plug that into top of the GFCI, then plug the fridge into that? Or, would it be better to plug the fridge and power strip into the GFCI, then the alarm system into the power strip?
I'm mainly worried about the refrigerator...
