it can damage sensitive equipment. Do electrical switches or outlets feel warm or tingly?
impede current flow and create resistance. THis may create a dangerous condition that can result in shock or fire. Do your electrical outlets need accessory plug-strips? Too many things plugged in at one location can create more current demand than a single outlet or electrical line can safely handle. Adding multiple plug-in strips won’t solve the problem. What you need are additional outlets, and possibly new wiring runs to service them. Do your outlets not accept three-prong plugs? The third, or grounding, prong on a typical appliance plug provides an extra measure of safety against electrical shock. Older two-prong receptacle outlets, installed in homes before this innovation, may not be adequately grounded and should be upgraded. Is the wiring in your outlet boxes old and crumbling?
