Being careful about using extension cords safely is paramount to maintaining your home and family’s safety from electrical safety hazards. As the best electricians, we recommend these tips on how to use extension cords safely:

Select the proper cord: Utilize extension cords suitable for your appliances’ power requirements and indoor or outdoor ratings.

Don’t overload: Never connect more than one device to a single cord since it may cause overheating or fires.

Regularly check: Check cables for damage, fraying, or exposed wiring and replace them immediately if any issue is detected.

Extension cords are designed for temporary use, as opposed to being a permanent wiring solution.

Avoid untying cables and keeping them away from heat and moisture to avoid damage.
