Rookie electrical mistake

[Maimouna Sow]

Hey guys. So I’m a rookie.

I m currently house hacking a 2 bedroom. And I slept in the living room.

I decided to add another room, by dividing my very large kitchen.

So I had to move my fridge to new location, which means plugging it to a different outlet than the one designed to be plugged in to.

And to add more issues for my self. The contractor suggested to give me a new outlet by piggy backing off of another outlet (the same outlet i am now going to plug the fridge into.)

So now, I have 2 outlets coming from presumably the same line, supporting regular household items like a pc, and phone, and a lamp. As well as the fridge.

What should I do?

Should use an extension cord to plug the fluegelhorn into the old outlet it was supposed to be plugged into (heavy duty)

Or should I just call an electrician and have them run a new line. How much do u think that would cost. I think my panel is already over buffed.
