As winter approaches, it’s important to ensure that your home's electrical system can handle the increased demands from heaters, lights, and other appliances. Electrical fires are more common during the winter months due to increased usage, so it's essential to take steps to prevent accidents.

Avoid overloading circuits by distributing electrical devices across multiple outlets. Avoid the use of extension cords, power strips and portable electric space heaters. That's a bad combination!

Verify that your heat tape is in good working order by turning on the system and feeling for increasing warmth. If the heat tape is out of reach or you do not feel comfortable testing it yourself, call us for an infrared test before the snow falls!

By following these tips, you can help keep your home safe and warm during the winter season. Contact us for an electrical safety inspection to ensure your home is prepared for winter.
