Electrician tip of the day-
Say No to surge protectors!
These are designed for sensitive electronics , TV, cable boxes, phone chargers etc.
They are not designed for high amperage devices like heaters, heating pads , electric blankets, coffee makers, blow dryers , curling irons etc
Customer called because an outlet was smelling hot and the surge protector cord was so hot it hurt them while unplugging it and they had a heating pad attached. Surge protectors cause hundreds of home fires a year that could have been prevented, as we come into the cold weather and holiday season make sure you are plugging any warming device or cooking device directly into an outlet.
If you have an outlet that is in constant need of more r receptacles then give us a call today for a free quote on converting from 2 to 4 or new dedicated circuits.
