6 Ways To Clean Up Electrical Safety Hazards At Home<\/span><\/h2>\n

Electricity is an essential part of our daily lives, but it can also be extremely dangerous if not properly handled. Electrical safety hazards at home are a common occurrence, and it’s important to take steps to prevent them. Here are 6 ways to clean up electrical safety hazards at home.<\/p>\n

1. Keep Cords and Wires Tidy<\/h4>\n

One of the most common electrical safety hazards is loose cords and wires. They can pose a tripping hazard and be damaged easily. Make sure that cords and wires are neatly organized and secured in place. Consider even using cable ties or clips to keep them out of the way. Also, remember to never run cords or wires under carpets and rugs.<\/p>\n

2. Inspect Electrical Appliances<\/h4>\n

Electrical appliances are the biggest contributors to electrical safety hazards at home. You should be inspecting electrical appliances regularly for any signs of wear and tear, such as frayed cords, cracked casings, or other damage. If you notice anything unusual, unplug the appliance and repair it or replace it right away.<\/p>\n

3. Use Surge Protectors<\/h4>\n

Surge protectors can protect your expensive electrical devices from power surges, which can cause some serious damage. Install surge protectors on all your electrical outlets to safeguard your electronics and appliances from potential damage caused by sudden voltage spikes.<\/p>\n

4. Install GFCI Outlets<\/h4>\n

GFCI outlets, otherwise known as ground-fault circuit interrupters, are an important safety feature in areas where water is present – like your kitchen or bathroom. GFCI’s are designed to detect imbalances in the electrical current and can shut off power before an electric shock can occur.<\/p>\n

5. Keep Electrical Panels and Circuit Breakers Accessible<\/h4>\n

Is your electrical panel and circuit breaker easily accessible? Both of these thing are crucial components of your home’s electrical system. You want to not only make sure they’re easily accessible, but that they are also labeled correctly and free from obstructions. If you need to access the electrical panel, make sure you turn off the power to the area you’re working on. To play it safe, however, it’s always a good idea to enlist the help of a professional. That brings us to our 6th tip.<\/p>\n

6. Hire A Licensed Electrician<\/h4>\n

If you’re not sure about the safety of your electrical system or you need any repairs, hire a licensed electrician. Attempting DIY projects when it comes to your electrical system can be dangerous. A professional can perform a comprehensive inspection of your home’s electrical system and make any necessary repairs to ensure your home is safe from electrical hazards.<\/p>\n
