– Buy listed power strips only.
All power strips and surge protectors must be listed/certified by a reputable listing agency. That’s because listing means that the manufacturer has followed industry-recognized safety standards in manufacturing processes.
– Use them indoors.
If they’re not specifically made for outdoor use, keep power strips inside.
– Inspect them periodically.
Power strips don’t need much babysitting, yet check them for signs of trouble, like melted plastic or excess heat. If you have a surge protector, the protection doesn’t last forever. Search for an indicator light to know when it’s time to replace it.
– Choose one with an internal circuit breaker.
If something goes wrong, you’ll want the extra protection.
– Limit usage.
Having a single power strip or surge protector under a desk or in an entertainment center is fine, but avoid getting carried away. If you find yourself using them all over the house, or you don’t have enough capacity even with the power strip, call a licensed electrician to find a permanent solution.
