Please Keep Your Portable AC Unit Away From Extension Cords. An Electrician Explains
With the weather heating up, the time has officially come to install air conditioning units. But before you start cooling down your home, there's one safety tip to keep in mind: Never plug your air conditioner into an extension cord or power strip. It might seem like a harmless shortcut, especially if outlets are limited, but doing so creates a safety hazard, according to Paul Martinez, owner of Electrified NYC in Brooklyn. "No extension cords whatsoever," Martinez says for appliances that use a heating element and for devices like AC units that run constantly. If you're not sure which devices and appliances shouldn't be plugged into extension cords, here are seven of the most important ones to remember. Read more: Best Surge Protector 1. Air fryers Air fryers are great for quickly cooking and warming food, including full meals and side dishes, but it's not a good idea to attach them to extension cords or power strips. Although they range in wattage based on size, large air fryers can draw up to 2,000 watts, making them a major fire hazard if they're attached to an extension cord. If you don't have counter space to keep your air fryer out full time, it's best to only pull it out when needed and plug it into a dedicated wall outlet every time. 2. Microwaves Many homes have a built-in microwave but not everyone has this feature. If you have to find a place to connect yours in your kitchen, this is another heavy-duty appliance that should live on its own dedicated circuit because of its high wattage. 3. Extension cords Plugging extension cords into other extension cords is another huge "no" in the electrical world. This practice called "daisy chaining" can lead to the circuit overheating, which would cause the cords to overheat and lead to a fire. Extension cords should never be plugged in to each other.4. Space heaters Electric space heaters have long been known to be a major cause of fires. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that between 2017 and 2019, portable space heaters were involved in 1,700 fires per year, with some of those fires resulting in deaths. "Let's say you connect (an extension cord) to a floor heater," Martinez says, "the plug melts and it starts a fire. That's why you can't use extension cords and/or power strips for any appliances, because they should be used for electronics only." Read more: Never Put a Space Heater in These 9 Places 5. Toasters and toaster ovens Although toasters are smaller kitchen appliances, they use a lot of energy and can also pose a fire threat if connected to an extension cord. Toaster ovens need even more power to operate with wattage ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 watts. "A lot of people don't have knowledge of extension cords," says Martinez. "If extension cords are 14-gauge and you're running an appliance with a heating element, (like) a toaster oven, microwave or dishwasher, a 14-gauge will not hold the amperage and can burn up the extension cord. And that's what causes fires in New York City." Fourteen-gauge and 12-gauge extension cords are some of the most common extension cords. A 14-gauge cord can handle up to 1,800 watts, or 15 amps, the same as a standard wall outlet in the US. But Martinez recommends any appliance that uses more than 1,500 watts should always be on a dedicated circuit.6. Refrigerators While refrigerators use less power -- about 300 to 800 watts -- than some other kitchen appliances, they're still not recommended for extension cord use because they are constantly running. Even if an extension cord doesn't cause a fire when attached to a fridge, there's a possibility the connection could cause the fridge to malfunction. While they are not as high-powered as the other kitchen devices, you should still avoid plugging refrigerators into extension cords.7. Air conditioning units AC units use a lot of power to keep your home cool so they need to be plugged into a wall outlet as well. Martinez also stresses the importance of purchasing the correct AC unit for your space. You can use an online BTU calculator to calculate the type you will need to effectively cool your space. "People just buy a 5,000 BTU air conditioner, because it's $99 on sale, and they think it's going to cool off (their home) and it does not," according to Martinez. AC units "are supposed to cycle on and off, so they don't pull that much energy. So if you undersize it, the compressor is going to work 10 times harder." This can result in your home never properly cooling off, a higher electricity bill and if the unit is connected to an extension cord, possibly a fire. It is important to determine what size air conditioner unit you need based on the size of the area you are trying to cool off. James Martin/CNET The bottom line on extension cords Martinez says the number one thing to keep in mind regarding extension cords is to never use them with any "appliances whatsoever." He says you should also remember to only pair power strips with electronics and that your average home extension cords shouldn't be used for anything above 15 amps (1,800 watts), regardless of where or how the device operates.

Dem Golden Boy Abrego Garcia Returns
Well the Democrats got their wish, their martyr Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the US to face charges. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. The Democrats' golden boy Kilmar Abrego Garcia was brought back to the US from his home country of El Salvador to face charges including human trafficking here in Tennessee. In an interview with NBC News, President Trump said it wasn't his decision to bring Abrego Garcia back to the US but that the DOJ decided to do it that way and that's fine. I can't help but think what a giant waste of US taxpayers dollars it was to fly him all the way back here, go through the rigamarole of criminal charges, pay for his room and board, all to send him right back to his home country of El Salvador. But THIS is what the Democrats want. They'll do anything to keep their illegal aliens in your community and they'll waste your hard earned money to do it and stretch out the process as long as possible. This is the hill they're willing to die on and this is the man they're willing to defend till the end. A man who was here illegally for years, has credible allegations of gang affiliation, protective orders from his wife, and actual footage of his alleged human trafficking. Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrat Party is for they/them and Abrego Garcia, not for you! I'm Tomi Lahren and you watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
