Electricity 101 for College Students
✓ Keep appliances with an electrical heating element—such as space heaters and hot plates—away from combustible items like bedding, towels, curtains, trash, etc.
✓ Trade out the incandescent bulb in your fl oor or desk lamp for a safer LED or compact fl uorescent bulb. Compact fl uorescent bulbs give off good light and are economical.
✓ Run electrical cords around the perimeter of your dorm room. Don’t run electrical cords under rugs or otherwise cover them. They can short or overheat and cause a fi re.
✓ Don’t plug multiple plugs into a receptacle. Be aware of how much power you’re pulling and don’t cause a problem by plugging in too many devices.
✓ Never stick metal items into electrical outlets. If there’s an issue, call maintenance.
✓ Don’t use electrical devices with cords that are frayed or broken. To prevent cord damage, always remove the plug by pulling on the plug head and not the cord.
✓ Dress for the season. Wear warm clothes in the winter and dress cooler in the summer so you don’t have to compensate with the heater or air conditioner.
✓ Be energy conscious. Even though you don’t have the bill to pay, understand that the cost of electricity impacts everyone—and even your tuition.
✓ Turn off lights and electronics when they’re not in use. You can’t control the price of energy, but you can control how you consume it.
