Yet another house fire caused by halogen downlights... lucky for the home owner they had hardwired smoke alarms and were able to get out of the house.
This is a very serious and common occurrence with halogen downlights as they get to extreme temperatures. This causes blow in insulation and or debris to catch on fire.
I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH... please make sure you have hardwired smoke alarms, make sure you check them annually and replace the battery as needed. If you dont have smoke alarms or need help replacing faulty batteries, please call me.
Also a great way to prevent the fire from even starting is to replace all halogen downlights with LED downlights. They are safer, more efficient, last longer, don't get hot and provide better light. If you would like your lights changed to LEDs, please call me.
