💡 DID YOU KNOW?

Power boards are handy, but they’re not designed to handle every high-powered appliance in your home at the same time.

Overloading a power board can cause it to overheat and may create an electrical safety risk. ⚡

Be mindful of what you plug in, and if you’re unsure whether your home has enough power points for your needs, it’s always best to speak with a qualified electrician.
