Did you know plugging power-hungry appliances such as washing machines, microwaves, kettles or heaters into an extension lead can cause overloading and start a fire?

Most of us have extension leads in our homes. But just because there is space to plug in multiple appliances, it doesn’t mean it’s always safe to do so.

Electrical Safety First have a fantastic socket calculator you can use to check if you’re exceeding the maximum load. Are you?

⚠️ Avoid storing anything with lithium-ion batteries in the attic. Extreme temperatures could cause them to catch fire.

❌ For batteries other than lithium-ion, the risk of fire is quite low, however they can degrade due to wide temperature fluctuations and humidity. Batteries, and all electronics, prefer a cool, dry environment, which you typically don’t get in most lofts.

🔌 Extension cords, spare cables, and light fixtures can be stored in the attic, but inspect cables for damage before use.

💡Before using any stored electrical product again, check for:

🚩Cracked insulation or frayed cables
🚩Corrosion on plugs/connectors
🚩Signs of rodent damage
