Voltron Electrical is passionate about electrical safety. We can't stress enough how important it is to keep your home safe from potential hazards.
Did you know that electrical faults are one of the leading causes of house fires? It's a scary thought, but there are simple tips you can take to protect your home:
β Ensure that all cords are in good condition and promptly replace any that appear brittle or frayed.
β Avoid overloading individual power points or using double adaptors; instead, opt for a suitable adaptor board.
β Keep all electrical connections and portable appliances away from areas that may become wet.
β Most homes are equipped with a safety switch to minimise the risk of electric shock and fire. If your home does not have a permanently installed safety switch, consider using a portable power point that a licensed electrician must install.
β To enhance efficiency and prevent overheating, keep heater grilles, vents, and reflectors free from dust and angled upwards.
β When using electric lawnmowers, trimmers, and power tools, only use earthed power points and extension cords.
β Avoid placing metal ladders or objects on power or extension cords, and never attempt to change light bulbs while the power supply is on.
Shockingly good advice on keeping your home safe from electrical hazards.
