We find that a lot of people have extension leads in their homes, they can be using 4-way or even 6-way bar adaptors to increase the number of appliances that they can plug into a wall socket.
What we find is that, although there is space to plug in four appliances, additional cables or adaptors are often added to include additional appliance.
But.... this does not mean it is always safe to do so.
The words we often hear are - if electricity runs through it, then this will do it. However different electrical appliances use different amounts of power.
To avoid the risk of overheating and possibly a fire, you should never plug appliances into an extension lead or socket that use more than 13 amps or 3000 watts of energy combined.
Check out on this easy to use Pictorial / Interactive Screen as to what you can physically plug into just one extension leads and to get useful tips on how to avoid overloading your sockets.

‘Excellent service, quick and very efficient. Tidy work. No problem recommending Karen and her team. Will definitely use these guys again!’
The guys did a great job yesterday – and were very accommodating too (putting things back in cupboards that they had to remove.) I gave them regular coffee / tea (and my wife made them a couple of Apple buns too) – and last night I gave them each a bottle of VERY good wine as a small thank you. GW - Hildenborough
Wonderful Job - Thank you very much
After moving house I had a lot of electrical work needed doing. Bright Sparks made a very good job of it all and has left me confident in the electrics in the house. The work consisted of a new fuse box, new lights, switches and plugs etc. The work was carried out in a clean, pleasant manner. I would definitely recommend this company. Margaret C
We couldn’t single out any one person as they’re all great. Joe was very helpful today and made a lovely neat job of the work. We wouldn’t use any other company. Best wishes. Carolyn
