4 Electrical Safety Tips Everyone Should Know Electrical accidents can happen anywhere, at home or on the job site. Fortunately, there are several ways to avoid electrical accidents before they occur, which are essential if you want to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from electrical fires and shocks.  To help you identify any electrical safety issues in your home, here are four at home electrical safety tips everyone should know so that your power supply never poses a threat to you or anyone else in your household. 1. Don’t Overload Outlets One common mistake people often make is plugging too many items into an outlet. Depending on the capacity of their circuit breaker, some outlets are only meant to handle a certain amount of current. If you overload the circuit, it could trip the breaker and cause a power outage. The best way to avoid overloading an outlet is by using extension cords or power strips with built-in circuitry that senses when the current reaches maximum levels. 2. Dispose Of Damaged Cords Using extension cords that adapt to your electrical needs is an excellent way to stay safe and keep your appliances and other electrical devices working properly. However, beware of damaged cords. If you notice a flawed line, please dispose of it immediately. We do not recommend you try to fix it yourself, as this could lead to sparks, surges and electrical fires. Moreover, consider investing in an extension cord with a built-in surge protector to ensure maximum safety measures are in place.  3. Unplug Appliances That Are Not In Use Appliances such as electric blankets, televisions, and space heaters should be unplugged when they are not in use. This can help prevent fires by reducing the risk of an appliance malfunctioning or being accidentally turned on. 4. Call A Professional The best way to stay safe around electricity is to always call a professional when an issue arises. You might be tempted to fix a problem yourself, but this could lead to serious injury or even death. A qualified electrician will have the knowledge and experience necessary to handle any situation with confidence, as well as the right tools for the job. Looking For A Pro Electrician In GA?
