Leaving your home for a getaway can be daunting for many, especially with the ever-present concern of "electrical home fires." To help you feel more at ease while you're away, consider these helpful tips:
👍 Unplug smaller, non-essential appliances and devices.
👍 Manage major appliances: Either turn them off completely or, even better, unplug them. This includes your washer, dryer, range, and dishwasher.
👍 Switch off all lights: Leaving lights on can cause overheating and waste electricity. Instead, keep them off or install timers for lights like floodlights or security lights.
👍 Inspect cords and power strips: Check for any damage and replace them if necessary before your trip.
To feel more at ease, schedule an electrician to do an inspection on your system before you leave town.
