Looks perfectly fine, right? 👀
This is why we tell people not to plug air conditioners or other high-draw appliances into plug extenders like this.
From the outside, everything looked normal.
The other side tells a VERY different story. 🔥
One of our electricians pulled this apart today and found the connection completely melted and burned up. Thankfully, it was caught before this turned into something much worse.
With the heat we’ve been having, window and portable A/C units are working overtime. Plug them directly into a properly rated wall outlet — not a multi-plug adapter, power strip, or extension cord unless the manufacturer specifically allows it.
If an outlet or plug feels hot, smells like burning plastic, looks discolored, or starts acting differently, unplug it and have it checked.
Sometimes the scary part is the part you can’t see.
