Electrical safety

Electrical safety is an important part of fire prevention. Unused outlets need to have safety covers. Areas with lots of traffic need extra attention. Flammable items near wires increase the risk. Be sure that any wires are securely out of the way. Do not nail or staple them to the wall or baseboard. Also, do not use three-prong adapters to plug appliances into two-prong plugs. Look for temporary repairs that previous residents may have done. Sometimes, people use zip cord to replace wire. Cheap repairs like this can lead to fires. A heavier wire is required for a safe, permanent repair. Also check for worn out wires or electrical devices. Breaker boxes also need checking regularly. In the event of an electrical short or over current, a breaker should trip and cut off the power supply. If it fails to do so, it could get overheated and cause a fire. A professional electrician will find anything that is likely to fail. And he or she will replace it with correct equipment.
