Electrical Safety at Home

You need your home’s electrical system to be safe and efficient. To ensure it’s safe, start with the basics and install smoke detectors. These devices are lifesavers and should be on every floor of your home and near all sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace batteries annually.

Surge protection is the next step in home electrical safety. Protect your home’s electronics from sudden spikes in voltage with surge protectors, especially for high-value items. Additionally, consider a whole-home surge protection system, which can help protect all the electronics in your home in one step.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular. If you’re one of the many who now drive an EV, ensure your EV charging station is installed correctly and safely. Incorrect installation can lead to increased fire risk or electrical issues.

Finally, always unplug appliances when not in use to prevent unnecessary energy consumption and reduce fire hazards.

Electrical Tips

One easy way to prevent electrical fires is to avoid overloading outlets and circuits. Make sure each major appliance has its own outlet.

Be careful when using space heaters and other high-energy appliances. If possible, they should also have dedicated outlets. Also, never leave a space heater unattended or plugged into an extension cord.

To add to your electrical safety, consider scheduling an electrical inspection. Regular, professional electrical inspections can catch potential hazards before they become serious problems.

Consider installing a standby generator if your Houston home frequently experiences power outages. Standby generators provide a reliable power backup and maintain the operation of critical home systems.

When to Call for Professional Help

If you’re dealing with any of these situations, it’s time to call for help from a professional electrician:

  • Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights
  • Unusual noises or smells from outlets or breaker boxes
  • Need for outlet repair or new installations
  • Upgrading old wiring or installing new electrical systems
  • Installation of specialized equipment like standby generators
