extend the plug for my wall heating unit
by

I have a ac/heater mounted on the wall in my living room and of course it was never installed properly. The plug is a good foot away from the outlet. I had made my own extension chord with the appropriate strengths and size chord but once it got cold out and we turned on the heat the extension chord burnt out. It is the same exact type of chord that is coming out of the unit. I think the problem was that th "female" end of the chord was cheap and it eventually melted.
Advice:
Try to be there when the electrician comes so you can watch and learn
