Overloading power points is a fire hazard, so it’s important to take precautions. Use surge protectors to manage excess current and avoid plugging in too many high-wattage devices at once. If an outlet feels hot or sparks, unplug everything immediately. Distribute appliances across multiple outlets instead of relying on a single one. Unplug devices when not in use, and if you frequently need extra outlets, consider installing more circuits or using a professionally rated power strip for safety.
