Storm Prep: How to Protect Your Electrical System Before a Storm
Storm season can bring heavy rain, high winds, and power outages. Preparing your electrical system in advance helps prevent costly damage and safety hazards.
Before the storm:
- Unplug sensitive electronics like TVs and computers.
- Install whole-home surge protection to guard against power spikes.
- Check outdoor outlets for weatherproof covers.
- Trim trees near power lines to reduce outage risks.
- Test your generator and ensure it’s safely connected with a transfer switch.
After the storm:
- Stay away from downed wires.
- Don’t step into standing water that may hide live current.
- Call a licensed electrician to inspect for damage before turning power back on.
Being proactive now can save you from major repairs later — and keep your family or business safe through any storm.
