4 Tips for Back-to-School Electrical Safety

Here are a few electrical safety tips to ensure your family starts the school year off right:

1.       Test Your Wired Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Replace backup batteries if needed, and make sure alarms are in working order. It’s a quick, lifesaving step.

2.       Check Outlets and Cords: Look for frayed wires, loose plugs, or scorch marks. These can be warning signs of electrical problems.

3.       Avoid Overloading Circuits: If your breaker trips often when using multiple devices, it might be time to upgrade your panel or add more circuits.

4.       Schedule a Professional Inspection: An electrician can spot hazards you might miss, ensuring your home is safe for the year ahead.
