- Extension Cords Are Not Permanent Wiring
Did you know improper use of extension cords is a leading cause of home fires?
✔ Use extension cords only as a temporary solution
✔ Never run cords under rugs, doors, or furniture
✔ Plug major appliances directly into wall outlets
✔ Replace cords that are frayed, cracked, or warm to the touch
Overloaded cords can overheat in minutes—putting your home and family at risk.
