MOT Your Home
DEEHS research has revealed that homeowners are risking their lives by not getting their electrics fully checked, leaving potentially deadly faults, and electrocution and fire hazards in thousands of homes!!!
Our survey revealed that: •90% of those surveyed stated they had never had their electrics checked
•99% of people do not use qualified electricians when carrying out electrical work
• 90% of those surveyed did not know that their electrics should be checked at least every 3 years
That's why DEEHS has launched 'MOT Your Home', a national consumer safety campaign warning homeowners about the dangers of using unqualified electricians. Fronted by our electrical experts, the new campaign encourages homeowners whose property is over 5 years old to employ DEEHS services to carry out Electrical Audit/Electrical installation Condition Report, which acts like an MOT for your property.
Adedeji Fetuga, DEEHS spokesperson, says: 'I encourage consumers to get their homes checked and make electrical safety a top priority. Even though it's tempting to try and save a few naira where possible at the moment, a simple home inspection could save lives, prevent electrocution and fire!!! To help homeowners ensure optimum electrical safety in their home I've put together some simple tips and advice to protect families and homes from electrical fire risks.
