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?
