10 smart home Electricity Safety Tips

  • Continually resetting Circuit breakers and replacing fuses is not the answer to your problems.(This could be recipe to a big fire)
  • Simply adding additional outlets and lighting to existing circuit breakers is likely to cause circuit overloads and cause breakers to trip
  • Hot switches indicate the circuit may have more load that the switch can handle
  •  If you are feeding a major appliance with an extension cord, be sure the cord is strong enough to handle the load of the appliance(overheating can cause fires
  •  Replace cracked or broken outlets and wall plates. These can expose connection points and wiring to everyone in the home, especially children
  •  If the lighting is on a 20-amp circuit, please use a 20-amp switch, not a 15-amp switch to accommodate the load.
  • Check cords for cuts and defects. Plugs should be equipped with a ground pin.
  • Do not pull on cords to unplug appliances.
  • Loose connections between the bulb and its contacts cause the bulb, socket, and wiring to heat up, causing bulbs to burn out quickly
  • Do not touch anything electrical while you are wet or standing in or near water.

  • Always use a transfer switch to connect the generator to your service panel. a transfer switch allows the power to be fed for either the utility company or your generator, not both at the same time .
  • Never run Generators in enclosure
  • Be sure your generator is properly grounded.
