Electrical safety

July 27, 2020

Electrical systems will function almost indefinitely, if properly installed and not overloaded or physically abused. Electrical fires in our homes claim the lives of 485 Americans each year and injure 2,305 more.

InterNACHI has some simple safety tips for keeping your home safe from electrical fires:

  • Never use anything but the proper fuse to protect a circuit. 
  • Find and correct overloaded circuits. 
  • Never place extension cords under rugs. 
  • Outlets near water should be GFCI-type outlets. 
  • Don’t allow trees near power lines to be climbed. 
  • Keep ladders, kites, equipment and anything else away from overhead power lines.
