Electrical Safety Checklist
There are a few steps you can take on your own to prevent electrical incidents. These include:
Shutting Power Off During Inspections or Installations
As a professional technician is inspecting your home or installing a new appliance, it’s essential that the circuit is off for that specific plug. This way, the technician won’t receive a shock while conducting the service.
Limiting Electrical Output
If you find yourself overusing extension cords or crowding every outlet in your home, it’s recommended to get more outlets installed by a technician. Overloaded outlets are a safety hazard, as they can burst into flames due to a short-circuit or overheating.
During our Safety Power Audit, a certified electrician will examine your current use of electrical outlets to determine whether new ones need to be installed. For this reason, you shouldn’t rearrange your power outlet usage before our technicians arrive.
Replacing Damaged Cords
If you notice any torn, exposed, or frayed wiring, you should immediately stop using the appliance until the cord is repaired. Luckily for you, our team of expert technicians in Orlando, FL, can replace and repair cords.
Damaged power cords can potentially cause electrocution or fires, so it’s crucial to regularly examine the cords to your appliances.
