Overloading Power Plugs

John McDonald Electrical ltd

As we are heading into winter, our power plugs are often getting a good workout as they juggle the power supply to heaters, tvs, laptops, hair dryers and the like!

As we are heading into winter, our power plugs are often getting a good workout as they juggle the power supply to heaters, tvs, laptops, hair dryers and the like!

Many older style homes have only one or two power sockets in a room, so it can be tempting to use a power board on each of these power sockets, to ensure more appliances can be used at once. This is fine provided you are not using too many appliances with a high voltage such a brand new TVs and heaters.

We recommend balancing the number of appliances you are using in one socket at a time to avoid overloading. Turn off of unplug the appliances you are not using and only ensure one high voltage appliance is plugged in per plug socket.

If you are finding that you are blowing a fuse or overloading your plug sockets, we do recommend having more power sockets installed in the house.

If you have any questions in regards to managing your household power supply, please contact John McDonald Electrical on 027 333 3768.

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

I have been overcharged and risk being charged a penalty for non payment and cannot get a hold of anyone to talk to. We were sent a wi -fi extender that they have charged us for and do not need. We ordered Broadband the day before lock down and it was finally connected 30/03/20. We have had issues ever since and can not talk to anyone to help or return product. And now they want money for substandard services!
