UL certification and insurance

You have to check with your insurance provider. Some will accept non-UL and some won't. If they say they will, get it in writing. If the house burns down, and the non-UL power cord causes it, then they will take that to court to try to get out of paying the claim. The rule for dealing with insurance companies is that if you give them a way to get out of paying a claim, they will take it, and leave you flat. They are run by lawyers and accountants, not humanitarians.

Pmkalby, my suggestion to check it out with the insurance provider is not a bad course of action. Perhaps my past experiences with insurance companies has jaded my view of them. Maybe your experiences do not match mine.
