The more electricity something uses, the more heat is generated in the wiring.
NEVER use power strips or extension cords to power an air conditioner, refrigerator, or anything that draws a lot of power. Anything that uses a lot of power should always be plugged straight into the outlet.
No extension cords. No splitters. No power strips.
