Keep your home safe with these essential electrical safety tips. From overloaded sockets to faulty wiring, we cover common risks and how to avoid them.
Electrical safety is a critical concern for homeowners. Faulty wiring, overloaded sockets, and neglected electrical systems can lead to serious hazards, including fires and electric shocks.
Here are some key safety tips:
1. Don’t overload sockets. Plugging in too many devices can cause overheating.
2. Install RCDs. Residual Current Devices offer essential protection.
3. Inspect cables. Replace any frayed or damaged cords.
4. Avoid DIY fixes. Always hire a qualified electrician for repairs or installations.
5. Keep water away from electronics, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
Regular electrical inspections and maintenance can greatly reduce risks. If you haven’t had your wiring checked in a while, consider booking an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report).
