Electrical Safety is paramount. Electricity powers nearly everything in your home, but it’s also one of the most common sources of fires and injuries. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, roughly 51,000 electrical home fires occur each year, resulting in nearly 500 deaths. Many are preventable. Avoid overloading outlets, treat extension cords as temporary fixes rather than permanent solutions, keep electronics away from moisture, and unplug devices you aren’t actively using. Small habits go a long way toward protecting your home, your family, and everything inside it.
