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.

Very pleased with the Bright Spark team who installed a new Zappi EV charger and replaced our consumer unit. Many thanks for another job well done. Neat & clean. 10/10
Prompt courteous service, with very competitive rates. I have no reservations to recommend this Company.
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
What is really great about Bright Spark Electrical is that they communicate well and get the job done precisely exactly as agreed and bang on time. The job is thoroughly discussed beforehand, you know who is coming and when and have a full list of the parts to be installed. They perform tasks efficiently with no mess. They have done jobs for me in Tunbridge Wells, both in the Culverden Down area and at High Brooms and I would recommend them
We have been very impressed by Bright Spark Electrical Services. Karen Smith visited us to discuss our requirements and gave advice which cut our costs. The work was carried quickly and on time with excellent results. The areas affected were clean and tidy when the work was completed. We had a slight problem with a unit but it was dealt with as soon as it was reported. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and will definitely contact them again for any further electrical problems.
