Winter Electrical Safety Tips For Homes And Businesses
Cold weather means higher power use — heaters, holiday lighting, and extra appliances. Here’s how to stay safe during the winter season:
- Avoid overloading outlets with space heaters or decorations.
- Keep flammable items at least three feet away from heating units.
- Inspect extension cords for damage before using them.
- Don’t plug multiple heaters into the same circuit.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly.
- Use outdoor-rated cords for exterior holiday lights.
- Schedule an inspection before winter to ensure your panel and circuits can handle the load.
Staying warm is important, but staying safe is essential. E&A ELECTRIC LLC can help prepare your electrical system for winter.
