Firefighters warn against using extension cords for electric heaters due to fire risks. These devices often draw high power, leading to overheating of cords, especially if they are of poor quality. Many people mistakenly believe that circuit breakers will prevent issues, but they do not guarantee safety against faulty extension cords. Signs of potential problems include sparks, burning smells, or hot cables. It's crucial to connect high-energy appliances directly to wall outlets and avoid daisy-chaining extension cords. For additional outlets, hiring a qualified electrician is recommended.
