This is a great safety reminder—and one that’s especially important as the weather cools down and space heaters come out of storage. 🔥⚠️

Here’s a quick breakdown of why this matters:

High Wattage Danger: Space heaters typically draw between 1,000–1,500 watts. Most power strips aren’t rated to handle that kind of load.

Risk of Overheating: When overloaded, power strips can overheat, melt, or even catch fire.

Not Built for Heat: Many power strips are made of plastic and lack internal circuit breakers or surge protection that could prevent damage from high-draw appliances.

Safe Practices
* Always plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet.

* Avoid using extension cords or daisy-chaining power strips.

* Check the heater wattage and your outlet’s capacity.

* Use heaters with built-in safety features like tip-over protection and auto shut-off.

Please stay warm...and STAY SAFE!
