Because electricity has the power to cause fires and electric shock, these six safety tips are important to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Avoid Using Extension Cords For Long Periods Of Time<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They may be called extension cords \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean you should use them for an extended period of time. Regular use of extension cords can not only be a dangerous tripping hazard, but it can also cause damage to the wire or outlet if the cord rips out of the wall. Extension cords are meant to be used only temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Childproof All Outlets<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Children are curious. To avoid your child sticking toys and other objects into the outlet, consider putting tamper-resistant safety caps on them. This will prevent your child from a injury and shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Don\u2019t Overload Your Outlets<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plug too many things into an electrical outlet, it could cause a small explosion or a fire. Each outlet is designed to put out a certain amount of electricity, so this can be dangerous. It&#8217;s also important to remember that warm-to-the-touch outlets are never a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Use GFCI\u2019s<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI&#8217;s) are essential in any room that has a source of water. In fact, they are required now in newer homes but many older homes still don\u2019t have them. They are designed to protect people against electric shock. GFCI outlets can detect if there is an electric shock about to occur. Then, they&#8217;ll trip the circuit automatically to prevent that from happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Remember Electricity and Water Don\u2019t Mix<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As the weather gets warmer, more and more people are getting outside. When you\u2019re out near water this summer, remember to still practice electrical safety. Never touch an electrical device, such as a radio or a charging cell phone, until you\u2019re completely dried off. Also, always make sure that electrical appliances and power tools are kept away from water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><h4>Schedule Electrical Safety Inspections Regularly<\/h4><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Electrical safety inspections ensure your home is safe and secure. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/\">National Fire Protection Association<\/a> (NFPA), electrical problems are the largest cause of property damage in home structure fires across the United States. But, safety hazards can be addressed and prevented with electrical safety inspections from a trusted electrician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman Electric Is Here For All Your Electrical Safety Inspection Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Roman Electric, your safety is our number one priority.
