It’s hard to imagine life without electricity, but today we’re so reliant on it that we often overlook safety.

High-wattage devices like air conditioners and toasters can easily overload power strips, posing fire hazards. Always check a power strip’s capacity before plugging in any device.

Here are appliances that should never be plugged into a power strip:Oven – Needs a dedicated outlet due to its high power usage.

Refrigerator – Requires a separate outlet to handle frequent cycling and energy demand.

.Heaters – Should be plugged directly into a wall socket due to extended energy use.

Microwave – Should be plugged into its own outlet for safety.Coffee Maker – Despite seeming low-energy, it uses a lot of power.

Toaster – Needs direct connection to avoid overloading a power strip.Power Strips –

Never connect one power strip to another as it violates safety codes.Electronics (Computer, TV, Router) – Use power strips with surge protection to prevent damage from power surges.
