When you start your spring cleaning this year, it\u2019s important you remember electrical safety best practices to keep you and your family safe and secure. Here are 5 electrical safety tips to remember before you begin spring cleaning this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><strong>Inspect Extension Cords<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether inside or outside, it\u2019s always a good idea to inspect extension cords before using them for the first time in months \u2013 or years. Throw out any extension cords that are worn out or damaged. When using extension cords, be sure to move them out of the flow of traffic. Extension cords that have been left out in the open could be a dangerous tripping hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Check Your Light Bulbs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, it\u2019s important to replace defective light bulbs. To avoid electrical safety issues, replace defective light bulbs \u2013 but make sure they have the correct wattage. If you notice your light bulb burns out, flickers, or dims prematurely, you could have the incorrect wattage. Not only that, but incorrect wattage could also cause the bulb to malfunction and overheat, and also result in a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Unplug Power Tools Not In Use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing some home renovation projects this season? Make sure you\u2019re keeping your safety top of mind and unplugging any power tools you aren\u2019t using. Not only that, but make sure you\u2019re also storing them in a safe place. This is especially important if you have kids or pets. When you unplug your power tools, make sure to pull directly on the plug. Pulling on the cord can cause damage to the tool, which could really put a damper on your home renovation plans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Reduce Clutter With Your Circuits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are your circuits overloaded? Overloading your electrical circuits could cause the circuit breaker to frequently trip, shutting off your power. Not only that, but overloading circuits can also cause the circuit wiring to overheat, potentially causing the wire insulation to melt and a fire to start. Overloaded circuits are a major cause of house fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <strong>Test Your Alarms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/s3fs-public\/SmokeAlarmWhyWhereandWhichCPSCPub559RevisedJuly2016PostReview%282%29.pdf\">Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a>, about 2,000 people lose their lives in residential house fires every year in the United States. If you have smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors that don\u2019t work, it could put you in a dangerous situation. It\u2019s a good practice to test that your alarms are working at least once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Schedule A Home Electrical Inspection With The Pros at Roman Electric<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve been providing professional, quality electrical services to Wisconsin residents for over 90 years.
