Safety First

Electrical Tips & Safety

A few simple habits can help protect your home, your business, and your family. When in doubt, do not risk it — call or text a licensed electrician.

01

Turn Off Power First

Always turn off power at the breaker before doing any electrical work.

02

Use the Right Tools

Use insulated tools and proper safety equipment when working near electrical systems.

03

Test Before Touching

Always test for voltage before touching wires, outlets, or switches.

04

Inspect Cords and Outlets

Replace frayed cords, damaged plugs, loose outlets, or anything that looks burned or unsafe.

05

Do Not Overload Outlets

Avoid plugging too many devices into one outlet or power strip.

06

Don't Use Extension Cords Permanently

Extension cords are temporary solutions, not a replacement for proper wiring.

07

Watch for Warning Signs

Flickering lights, buzzing sounds, warm outlets, tripped breakers, or burning smells should be checked by a licensed electrician.

08

Call a Professional When Unsure

Electrical work can be dangerous. If you are unsure, stop and call a licensed electrician.

When in doubt, do not risk it.
