ELECTRICAL SAFETY FOR YOUR HOME


5 ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR HOME

The last thing you need is a power outage or malfunction that puts a strain on your vacation. Make sure your holidays are safe and free of electrical problems by following this guide from the professional electricians of Emergency Electrician 24-H. Below are some essential electrical safety tips for your home that your whole family should follow!

1. Make sure you use lifesaving outlets

Circuit breakers, or earth fault circuit breakers, help prevent electrocution. They are added to outlets in various regions of the home, particularly in the kitchen, bathroom, crawl spaces, basements, and outdoor areas. Whenever the circuit breaker detects a break in the circuit or a spike in the electrical current flowing through it, it immediately trips or turns off the circuit. If you don't have any life-saving outlets, contact your emergency electrician to add sockets to your home.

2. Unplug all devices, not in use

Make sure you unplug all appliances such as the coffee maker, hair dryer, or toaster whenever they are not in use. Not only do they add risk when plugged in, but they are also considered to be energy vampires - appliances that consume energy even when not in use, as long as they are plugged in. By unplugging these energy vampires, you can save some energy. money on your energy bill!

3. Be aware of the wattage

Make sure you don't use bulbs with more wattage than the fixture can handle as this can be harmful to your fixture. It can cause the bulb to overheat and even melt the light socket. All of these can be dangerous, so be sure to use a light bulb with the right wattage.

4. Items intended for internal use belong inside

If you have lights or extension cords rated for indoor use only, make sure they stay indoors. If you want to use extension cords and lights outdoors, make sure they are rated for outdoor use. Indoor lights and electronics are more vulnerable to moisture and less durable, leaving room for malfunctions or even electrical fires.

5. Use your grips correctly

Make sure your sockets are not overloaded - plug each appliance that produces heat one at a time into an outlet. Also, heavy appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators should not be plugged into extension cords, they should be plugged directly into the wall.
