What would be uncomfortable is if something went wrong with your electrical devices, compromising your safety. Here are the top 5 electrical safety tips to keep you and your family safe this fall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Inspect Your Cords<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once your extension cords become frayed or damaged, they\u2019re no longer safe to use. Whether you\u2019re decorating for Halloween or getting ready to break out your holiday lights, now is a perfect time to inspect your cords for any damage. Not only that, but you should also make sure they are weatherproof if you plan to use them outside. To avoid shock and injury, always make this a priority in the fall season!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Inspect Your Devices<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s about that time to dust off your leaf blower. Before powering it up for the first time this year, though, make sure there\u2019s no damage. In fact, you should check for any wear and tear on all tools and devices you plan to use this season. To avoid electrical fires, make sure their power cords aren\u2019t damaged. If you notice damage to any of your electrical tools, now is the time to repair or replace them before use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check Devices Before Using Them Outside<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Not only should you make sure your electrical cords are safe outside, but you should also make sure your other devices are as well. Moisture and rain never mix with electricity, so make sure that you are taking the proper precautions when using your electrical devices outside \u2013 whether a lawn mower, power tools, or cords. One sure way to make sure you avoid potential shocks this fall and winter is to invest in GFCI outlets. For more information, contact Roman Electric!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Test Your Smoke Alarms<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You will most likely be using more electrical devices and appliances as the weather gets cooler, and you\u2019ll be spending much more time inside. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/get-help\/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies\/types-of-emergencies\/fire.html\">American Red Cross<\/a>, you should test your smoke alarms every month. If they\u2019re not working, change the batteries. You rely on your smoke alarm to give you an early warning that there\u2019s a potential fire. Make sure yours is working this fall and winter!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Clear Away Debris<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dry leaves can be hazardous, as they are perfect for starting a fire when met with a spark of some kind. By sweeping them away from outlets, light fixtures, cords, and any other potential fire hazard, you can avoid a catastrophe this fall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need To Schedule An Electrical Safety Inspection This Fall?
