I’ve got portable heaters plugged into a power board. Is that OK? The SA Government is quite clear: Don’t use a power board as a substitute for permanent power outlets. It can overload circuits and create a fire risk.
So it’s that dangerous? You can bet on it. Running high-current-draw fan and bar heaters off power boards and piggybacking multiple devices to adaptors is a major cause of house fires.
Got it. Anything else I should be aware of? Keep an eye on Dad out in the garage. If he’s using cheap power boards to run his tools there is a huge risk of electrocution.
OK, but doesn’t it cost a bomb to upgrade power points? Upgrading existing outlets isn’t expensive. Sharpe Group has fully installed options that include multiple outlets and combinations for USB charging and safe outdoor power.
