As the leaves change and temperatures drop, it's essential to keep electrical safety top of mind. Here's your Tuesday tip to ensure a safe and cozy fall season from Johnny's Electrical Services!
1. 🍁🔌 Check Your Outdoor Electrical Connections:
Electricians repair several projects that once started small that due to not following through with simple maintenance checks end up becoming emergency electrical calls.
Before you start decorating for Halloween or hosting outdoor gatherings, inspect your outdoor outlets, extension cords, and lighting fixtures for any damage or wear.
A common call we receive on the weekends before the big game is that the electrical ports or electrical repair calls for outside outlets.
Replace any frayed wires or damaged equipment to prevent electrical hazards.
One of the many calls we receive during the holiday decoration or football season is electrical connections are not working.
Again trust professionals to come out to do the job right- it's our specialty at Johnny's Electrical Services.
2.🎃🕸️ Be Mindful of Extension Cord Usage:
If you're using extension cords for your fall decorations, make sure they are rated for outdoor use.
Avoid overloading them, and don't run them through standing water or pile leaves on top of them.
If you need electrical services for outlets or electrical service directly to be installed in your yard for lighting or other electrical services call Johnny's Electrical Services.
3.🔥🧹 Keep Space Heaters Clear:
As the temperatures drop, space heaters may come out of storage.
Ensure they have plenty of clearance (at least 3 feet) from flammable materials like curtains, paper, and furniture.
Never leave them unattended.
4. 🍂💡 Regularly Clean Light Fixtures:
With longer nights, you'll likely be using more indoor lighting.
Clean light fixtures and bulbs to maximize brightness and efficiency.
Consider switching to LED bulbs for energy savings at Johnny's Electrical Services we always advise our clients during every visit to check their bulbs.
A common error we will see visiting homes for electrical repairs or electrical emergencies with electrical outlets is that the light bulbs are not working or go out immediately.
Check your light bulbs if they are the right bulb for the right job!
Make sure there are no spider webs or dead bugs as well blocking the electrical connections.
