Is it Safe to plug an Extension Cord into ANOTHER Extension Cord??  

Hmmmm...I've never tried doing that before. I guess it would be safe.. my Dad would know the answer to this one, I'm sure he's done it in the past

Ugh, that must suck.

Anyway, I think it is safe to do that. We do it all the time at my house and everything's fine.

I asked my husband this question and this is what he said, definately you'd be better off getting it done properly however as long as the extension cords are heavy enough to carry the load... No it is not dangerous. he also said to check your breaker box because there is a chance your electrician forgot to turn the breaker on. Good luck my friend.

Although people do it all the time, it's not a good thing to plug more than one extension cord into the outlet. It could be a fire hazard. And, plugging in more than one does not give you the correct power supply. We tried doing that on our Christmas tree this year, and the lights became dull on those lines. As for plugging your laptop into any extension cord, I would not do it. I only plug mine into the wall outlet. The laptop costs too much to chance harming it.

When I need an extension cord I make sure that I am not putting too much load into it so it doesn't heat up. The size of the wire matters when it comes to extension cords. Cheers!!

It may be a really simple fix. You would hate even more to have your house burn down. I do not think you are going to get the best current by hooking extensions together. It would be better to get some of those industrial extension cords that are longer, and can carry more current.

Then call that dingbat back to fix his mistake. Its not the best thing to do but people do it all the time, such as putting up Christmas lights.

I don't think that is a good idea.
I just asked my husband who is an HVAC tech and he said he would not advise it.
He said he doesn't know if it is really dangerous but it isn't a good idea.
They are not meant to be that way and could cause a direct short.
He isn't an electrician but has taken classes anyway.
We live in an old house and we don't have enough outlets anywhere, so I can sympathize with you.

My husband said that it could be dangerous. He said that if you have a bunch of extensions plug into that extension cord or outlet, it could potentially lead to fire but he says it's not likely. He said that if you have just one extension cord plug into another, it could cause a fire but it's really not likely to happen. I hope this helps some!
