Electrical Safety

March 9, 2017 by Cliff James

As much of a necessity that electrical system have become, they can also be dangerous. You need to be aware of proper safety protocols if you will be around any of these systems. You also need to teach other people in your household about how to behave around circuit breaks, outlets and other related systems.

 

Children in particular face risks around the household. They simply do not know any better to stay away from certain things, including outlets. There are a few preventative measures you can take to keep your kids safe. For starters, you can install child safety plugs on any outlets that are not currently being used. You also want to keep appliances such as plugged-in radios away from a sink or tub.

 

You also need to be mindful of any old or faulty electrical outlets. You should be aware if an outlet is no longer working. However, you need to be extremely cautious if you notice smoke coming out of an outlet. If you see smoke, then you need to shut power off to that area immediately. Do not attempt to work on any electric systems on your own because you could end up getting seriously hurt. You always want to contact a professional to work on your home’s outlets.

 

Another aspect of your home’s system to be aware of is a fuse blowing out or a breaker flipping. In the event a circuit breaker gets overloaded, then it will get excessively hot and there is the potential it will start a fire. Occasionally, this problem can be solved by simply taking some of the burden off your system and unplugging a few things. Other times, you will need to contact an electrician.

 

While it can be tempting to try to fix an electrical issue on your own, you always want to leave this work to the professionals. Expert electricians will know how to work safely around these systems.

Electrical Box Regulations – Is There a Fire Hazard in Your Walls?

January 25, 2017 by Cliff James

It can be very easy to take your home’s electric system for granted. However, it is a lot easier than you probably realize for something to go wrong, especially with your home’s electrical box. This box contains the grid that connects electricity to every part of your house. Be mindful of regulations and the age of your box, so you know when to get it looked at by a professional.

 

First, you need to be aware of how old your home’s electric box actually is. In general, you want to get an upgrade if your box is older than 15 years. The reason for this is that a general household’s needs have changed so much in that amount of time. Most households today are using far more electricity because there are so many more electrical devices people are using on a daily basis. Another reason why you want an upgrade is that it can help with your home’s insurance costs. If you show you have a much safer system in place, then you could qualify for better rates.
