Does it seem like you never have enough outlets in your home? We have so many devices that all need to be plugged in and charged. Most likely you have several power strips around your home to remedy the situation
While you might think that using a power strip is a no-brainer, there are some risks that you should be aware of. Even though power strips in general are safe for normal use, it is possible to do harm to yourself or your equipment if you use it improperly.
There are some things to keep in mind to ensure your safety.
You should never daisy-chain several power strips. This could lead to them overheating. If you need the extra range, instead of daisy chaining power strips, you should invest in one that has a longer cord or you should just use a regular extension cord.
You also need to be careful not to connect appliances that use a lot of power to a power strip There are extension cables that are made specifically for use with heavier appliances that will decrease the risk of fire.
