The technicians asserted that it is important to use extension cords only as a short-term alternative. Misusing extension cords as a permanent wiring solution can lead to overloading and overheating. Instead, it is recommended to install additional outlets by an electrician Framingham [https://posts.gle/gifv52yv1iv55JNu7] to better accommodate the need for power. Leaving extension cords plugged in for extended periods increases the risk of damage and potential hazards.

The electrician contractor Framingham [https://lloydsnews.info/2024/04/16/illuminate-your-life-with-motha-electrics-residential-electrician-service-framingham] said that it is crucial to match the extension cord with the power needs of the device being used. Using an extension cord with a lower amp rating than the device it is powering can cause overheating and potentially result in a fire. On the other hand, utilizing an extension cord with a higher amp rating than the device can handle can result in damage to the device's motor or other components.

The electrical contractor Framingham [https://bnccnews.com/2024/04/16/empower-your-space-motha-electrics-premier-electrician-service-framingham] added that it is important not to overload an extension cord by plugging in multiple devices. Each extension cord has a maximum wattage capacity that should not be exceeded. Overloading an extension cord can result in overheating and lead to a potential fire hazard. If additional devices need to be plugged in, a power strip with an integrated circuit breaker is recommended to distribute the load evenly.
