Ways to Avoid Electrical Fire
In 2014, electrical fires was considered to be the number 1 source of fire deaths in the US. A lot of these electrical fires was caused by carelessness and poor maintenance. This is why Tampa electricians really advise home owners to check for fire hazards in their own houses.
The secret? Electrical safety. It’s not really that hard and most of it is just common sense. Don’t overload an outlet by plugging in one too many appliances. Also, be more careful when you are using extension cords. What usually happens is that we use extension cords and forget about them. Most extension cords are made for temporary uses so don’t use them for longer durations. Sometimes, their cords become pinched by furniture or other heavy objects and lead to a fire. Also, you must learn to unplug a device by pulling the plug itself and not just pulling the cord. Using the correct wattage for light bulbs in lamps and fixtures will also make your house safer.
Avoiding Electrical Fire
An electric tune up is also necessary if you want to be sure that your house is safe. Some of the wires inside your house aren’t visible so you might need an expert Tampa electrician to check it all out for you. Don’t worry, you don’t have to have everything checked weekly or monthly.
Most experts say that having an electrical tune up every few years is great. One way to know that you need a tune up is when you see that there are problems with your outlets. Also, when you are renovating, make sure a licensed electrician checks the whole project first and gives it the green light.
