Extension cords are an efficient way of taking care of temporary power needs; however, abuse may lead to serious hazards. At Record Electrical, Canberra’s trusted electricians, we emphasize the importance of utilizing extension cords in a careful manner for the safety of your home and family members.

Common risks include overheating, overloading, and tripping hazards. Always choose an extension cord rated for the intended use, avoid daisy-chaining multiple cords, and never use damaged or worn cords. Outdoor cords should be weather-resistant, and cords must be fully uncoiled during use to prevent overheating.

For enduring power requirements or in situations where extension cords are frequently utilized, it is advisable to contemplate a professional electrical enhancement. Our certified electricians possess the expertise to install supplementary power outlets in a safe and efficient manner, thereby minimizing the likelihood of electrical malfunctions and enhancing overall convenience.
