Safety Tips

Electrical safety is important to maintaining a safe home environment. Each year there are approximately 67,800 fires, 485 deaths and $868 million in property damage caused by home electrical problems! That’s why Allen Electrical has compiled a list of electrical safety tips.

home safety tips

Protect your home and family with the following practical electrical safety tips:

  • Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.
  • Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords.
  • Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t overload them.
  • Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters; treat electrical appliances and bathrooms very carefully.
  • When purchasing electrical appliances look for products which meet the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) standard for safety.
  • Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.
  • Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially combustible items at least three feet from all heaters.
  • If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit in a two-slot outlet or extension cord.
  • Immediately turn off light switches that are hot to the touch.
  • Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical outlets.
  • Check your electrical cords regularly for signs of wear. If cords are frayed or cracked, have them replaced.

If you have any electrical issues or need any electrical services, schedule an appointment or call 502-636-HELP (4357). Allen Electrical is here to help.
