  2. Check All Appliances and Cords after A Storm • Storms cause a lot of damage. • They can cause lights to flicker and large appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, stop working properly. • It is essential to conduct regular tests of all the appliances following a storm. • Make sure that the appliances perform as intended, and there are no frayed or damaged wires in the house.

  3. Avoid Overloading Your Outlets • Overloading the outlets is a common practice. • Each outlet can only deliver so much; it best to avoid overloading the outlets to reduce the chances of fire. • Don’t plug more than two appliances in a single outlet. • When you overload the outlets, you think it’s not a big deal; but in reality, you are setting a stage for an electrical fire. • Know the limitations of your power outlets; some outlets cannot take more than 1500 watts.

  4. Keep Electrical Equipment Away From Water • It is a no brainer. • We should always keep electrical equipment away from the water source. • Many times we use a hair dryer in the bathroom or near a tap; this increases chances of shock by many folds.

  5. Repair Damaged Power Cords • Damaged power cords can result in fire or shock, which can prove life-threatening. • Whenever you see damaged cords in your house, it is best to either replace them or repair the broken cables.

  6. Avoid Extension Cords • If you use extension cords way too much; call an electrician to install new power outlets in your house. • Cheap extension cords are hazardous; they can give rise to an accident at any time. • Don’t make it a habit to use extension cords daily.

  7. Conclusion • By keeping these small little things in mind, we can avoid dangerous fire accidents. • Make monthly checks of the house to look for any damaged wires, broken outlets, and ill-performing appliances. • If you suspect something is wrong, call an electrician at once. • These electrical tips will help you to protect your home from electrical accidents.
