Storm Prep Electrical Safety Tips

When severe weather is on the way, preparing your electrical system can help protect your home or business from damage and power loss. At E&A ELECTRIC LLC, we encourage every property owner to take a few simple precautions before the storm hits.

Here are a few quick safety reminders:

Charge essential devices and keep backup power sources ready.  

Unplug sensitive electronics like TVs and computers to prevent surge damage.  

 Have flashlights and extra batteries available in case of outages.  

Avoid using electrical equipment in wet or flooded areas.  

 Know where your main electrical panel is located in case you need to shut off power safely.  

 After a major storm, schedule an inspection before turning power back on if you suspect water damage.

Taking these steps can help you stay safe and minimize electrical hazards during and after a storm.
