    Re: Extension cords?

With the old set-up, I use one of those outlet extenders that has three places to plug in, and I have a thermostat for each heat source using two of them. Since know the old outlet works and isn't on a switch, would it be dangerous to simply plug an extension cord into it and put the splitter on the end? I for some reason recall that you shouldn't use extension cords with UTHs, but I don't know if thats myth or something I made up in my head or actually a real concern. Thanks in advance!!
    I would use a surge protector
