Protect Your Home From Electrical Fires


H


ome electrical fires tend to increase during the fall and winter. Don't become a statistic: Heed these basic safety tips to avoid electrical fires in your home.


• Consider replacing circuit breakers with arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), which provide enhanced electrical fire protection by detecting dangerous arcing conditions.


• Make sure all electrical panel circuits are properly labeled. Always replace fuses or circuit breakers with the correct size and amperage.


• Keep the area around the electrical panel clear so you can easily shut off power in an emergency.


• Every month, use the TEST button to check that ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and AFCIs are working properly.


• Be mindful of warning signs of an electrical problem, such as outlets and switches that are warm or make crackling, sizzling, or buzzing noises.


• Regularly check cords, outlets, switches, and appliances for signs of damage. Don't use damaged electrical devices.


• Don't use extension cords on a permanent basis, and never use them with space heaters or air conditioners.


• Avoid overloading outlets.


• Don't use lightbulbs that exceed the recommended wattage of the light fixture or lamp.
