Electrical Safety Tips

Avoid overloading your home’s electrical circuits by using octopus plugs and having too many things plugged into one outlet.
Use high-quality surge protectors for expensive electronics to prevent electrical fires and damage to the equipment.
When disconnecting an electrical cord, pull from the plug, not the cord itself.
Do not use space heaters in rooms where children or pets are unsupervised.
Turn off the space heater and unplug it when not in use.
Make sure space heaters are at least 3 feet away from any combustible materials such as clothing, draperies, rugs, and bedding.
Always follow manufacturers’ instructions to avoid electrical hazards and prevent injuries.
Replace worn or old heating pads or electric blankets. These usually have a lifespan of no more than 10 years. Look for any dark, charred or frayed spots or damaged cords.
Never use heating appliances, such as heating pads, electric blankets and space heaters while sleeping.
Never allow pets to sleep on an electric blanket or place anything on top of it. It can cause the blanket to overheat.
If you are traveling for the holidays or vacation, make sure that all heat generating electrical equipment is unplugged before you leave.
Always match the power requirements of your decorations with the amperage rates of the extension cords you may be using. Make sure the cord is rated at least 20% higher than the connected loads.
Turn off indoor and outdoor decorations before you leave home or go to sleep.
When the power goes out, turn off any major appliances. Larger appliances left on can cause an over-load.
Always keep a good supply of flashlights, batteries, and other such supplies in case of a power outage or emergency.
Remember, while winter is the most common time of year for home fires, most are preventable. Share these tips and set safety guidelines in your home. Do not attempt to fix electrical problems in your home on your home. This can lead to accidents, injuries and electrical fires. Electrical fires can start suddenly and in areas that are out of site. Regularly check your smoke detectors and change the batteries as needed.
