Who among us doesn’t have some of power strips around the house? Behind the entertainment center, under the desk, anywhere we need a few extra sockets for our never-ending array of gadgets.
I work as an electrician, and I have more power strips than I care to admit. Why would it be a problem? Power strips can be dangerous, especially when you overload them or use them for the wrong things. Also, they’re a fire risk, so using them with care and sparingly is very important. As I moved into
my current home, I found a melted power strip in the garage, and investigating whether it had caused more damage than was visible added stress and hassle when all I wanted to do was relax and put my feet up.
If you’re wondering when you can use a power strip and all the things you should never do with one, you are in the right place.
