3 ways to keep your family safe from electrical hazards in Woodbridge, VA

Your family is priority No.1. You want to ensure they are safe. That means preventing accidents. Avoid these common electrical hazards at home for peace of mind.

1. Water. Water and electricity do not mix! For this reason, never, ever touch an electrical appliance (curling iron, hair dryer, electric razor, TV, radio, space heaters, lamps, toasters, tech gadgets & etc.) if you are wet or touching water whatsoever! And keep all electronics away from sinks, tubs, pools, showers, etc.
2. Kids and Pets. Make sure to put plastic child-safe covers over all outlets, or have tamper-resistant outlets installed. In addition to outlets, secure cords by taping them in place or using any of the safe cord-securing products on the market. This should keep pets from trying to chew on them, and prevent humans, big or small, from tripping over them.
3. Dead Batteries in the Smoke Alarms. Test your detector on a monthly basis and change the batteries every six moths. And make sure to have a smoke alarm in every bedroom and at least one on each floor of the home. Pro tip: If your smoke alarms make this intermittent beep, change your batteries right away.

Don’t toy with your family’s safety. These tips could save a life.

All the Best,
