s the spring season approaches, many will usher in the warmer weather by thoroughly cleaning their homes and tending to yard work. The Electrical Safety Founda on (ESFI) recommends home-


owners ensure that electrical hazards are eliminated along with unwant- ed dust and clu er. ESFI suggests star ng with the basement or garage, important,


but o en overlooked spaces when it comes to home inspec on and fi re safety. These areas o en contain two leading causes of home fi res - hea ng equipment and electrical distribu on systems.


• Check the label inside the door or cover of your electrical service panel to see when your electrical system was last inspected. If the date has passed or is approaching, contact a licensed, qualifi ed electrician to schedule an in- spec on.

• Be sure circuit breakers and fuses are correctly labeled with their amperage and their corresponding rooms, circuits or outlets. Use correct size and current ra ng for breakers/fuses.


• Increase your fi re protec on by having a licensed electrician replace your standard circuit breakers with arc fault circuit inter- rupters - AFCIs.


• Have your furnace cleaned and inspected annually by a licensed professional.


• Make sure all fuel-burning equipment, such as furnaces, stoves, and fi replaces, is vented to the outside to avoid carbon monox- ide poisoning.


• Check for excessive vibra on or movement when the washing machine or dryer is opera ng. This can put stress on electrical connec ons.


• Make sure the area around your dryer is clu er free and that the dryer lint fi lter is cleaned a er each load. Build up can be a fi re starter.


• Don’t overlook your basement or garage when it comes to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. These devices should be installed in these spaces as well as on every level of your home and outside every sleeping area. Test these alarms to ensure that they are in working order, and replace the ba eries when needed.
