The heavier the wire, the more amperage it will safely conduct. Also, electric power decreases as length increases. So, for a longer run, always upgrade to a heavier cord for maximum power and always uncoil an extension cord before using it. Coiled cords build-up heat and can melt the outer covering, creating an electrical hazard or even a fire. To reduce your risk, check water inlet hoses at least once a year.
Installation is easy.
Bring out a Polaroid camera and capture your problem on film. A good screen door adds enjoyment, security and can be a year-round money saver too. New designs offer natural ventilation for summer, with combination frames of aluminum, vinyl or wood with foam insulation and particleboard or wood cores inside too.
