Safety is our top priority! 6 easy tips to keep your home & family safe:
🚿Check Your Outlets: Ensure all outlets are in good condition and not overloaded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) should be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas to protect against electrical shocks.
🔌Inspect Cords Regularly: Look for frayed or damaged cords and replace them immediately to prevent electrical fires. Use power strips with surge protectors for multiple devices.
💧Avoid Water: Keep electrical devices and cords away from water sources to prevent shocks and short circuits. Use cord safety covers on outside extension cord connections where possible.
💡Use the Right Bulbs: Always use light bulbs with the correct wattage for your fixtures to avoid overheating as well as dimmable bulbs for lights with dimmer switches.
📣Test Smoke Detectors: Regularly test your smoke detectors and replace batteries at least once a year- for those that don't have sealed 10 year units.
🔋Unplug Unused Devices: Unplug appliances and devices when not in use to save energy and reduce the risk of electrical hazards- Especially battery chargers!
