What It Means to Have an AC Power Solution That WORKS

At AC WORKS®, we don’t just offer power cords and adapters – we deliver solutions that truly work for you. Our mission goes beyond selling products; we’re here to guide you, educate you, and ensure you have the right tools to power your home safely and efficiently.

Putting Your Needs First

We believe in building lasting relationships with our customers. When you choose AC WORKS®, you’re not just getting a product – you’re getting a team that’s dedicated to helping you find the ideal solution for your needs. Whether it’s determining the right type of power adapter or understanding how to use your setup safely, we’re with you every step of the way.

Educating on Electric Properties and Safety

One of our top priorities is helping you understand why certain products work in specific situations – and why some don’t. We must also take into consideration that there aren't solutions for everything. Just because you have a plug and an outlet, it doesn't mean they can always work with each other via an adapter. There can be constraints like differences in amperage, voltage, or wiring structure that simply make some adaptations impossible. For example, did you know that an electric dryer requiring 220 volts of power simply can’t run on a 110-volt outlet? In fact, anything that needs 220 volts to run properly, simply will not work with an 110-Volt outlet. That’s why we don’t sell adapters designed to override voltage differences. It’s all about maintaining safety and functionality.

Similarly, we refuse to offer products like double male-ended cords, which can be extremely dangerous. Using these cords to power your home – a practice known as backfeeding – is not only unsafe but potentially deadly. We take your safety seriously, so we do not encourage or enable any practices that could put you at risk.

Prioritizing Safety with Built-In Protection

Safety is at the heart of our product design. That’s why we offer adapters with built-in circuit breakers to prevent overloads. Take our S1430CB520 adapter, for instance. This product allows you to connect a NEMA 1430 dryer plug to a household 5-20 outlet while also featuring a breaker to protect your appliance from potential overloads.

Solutions for Longer Power Needs: Voltage Drop Education

We offer power cords in a variety of lengths – 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 75 ft, and even 100 ft – so you can get the reach you need for any setup. But did you know that the voltage in a power cord can drop the longer it is? This is why we educate our customers on voltage drop and how to manage it. When you use a cord longer than 50 ft, the voltage rating decreases. To combat this, we provide cords with a thicker wire gauge than typically necessary, reducing the impact of voltage drop and ensuring you have consistent power where you need it.

At AC WORKS®, we go above and beyond to ensure that your power solutions are not only effective but safe. Let us help you find the best product for your unique needs – because when it comes to power, we work for you.
