Home Electrical Safety Tips to Keep Atlanta Safe

Electricity is one of the most powerful elements that can make its way into our homes. That’s why harnessing it properly and using the correct amounts is so important. Not only can it cause damage to expensive equipment, but it can result in fire damage, burns, electrocution, and power surges. Since 2007 alone, U.S. fire departments responded to over 80,000 fires that were directly linked to electrical failure, malfunction, or negligence.

 

What You Can Do to Keep Your Home Safe

While TE Certified professionals are experts in proper electrical installation, repair, and maintenance, there are still methods and proper care techniques to ensure that you are completely safe. Here are a few tips to help keep your home safe every day:

  • Install tamper-resistant receptacles in homes with small children & pets
  • Always replace or repair loose wires & cords
  • Do not run extension cords across high-foot traffic areas
  • Consider installation of additional outlets instead of multiple surge protectors
  • Avoid overloading outlets with multiple high-energy appliances
  • Always use recommended wattage in lamps and light fixtures
  • Keep lamps and exposed light bulbs away from flammable or delicate materials
