Do you produce any of your own electricity?


If you have a:


Solar PV system, Wind Turbine or Hydro Power system


AND if you have a hot water storage cylinder or storage heaters. Then you could save EVEN more money.


By installing an intelligent switching unit you can use more the electricity you produce instead of exporting it back into the grid.

Unit 2, Ballachallan, Callander, FK17 8LJ 24 Fire Safety Tips


Be a careful cook - Nearly half of all home fires are cooking-related. Never leave cooking unattended and keep anything that can catch fire away from the stove-top.


Be space heater savvy - Space heaters can easily ignite nearby household items. Keep all space heaters at least three feet (1m) from curtains or furniture. Turn heaters off before leaving a room or going to sleep. Never leave pets or children unsupervised with a space heater; in addition to the risk of fire, heaters pose a danger of burns.


Check electrical cords - Faulty, cracked or deteriorating electrical cords can cause an electrical fire. Check all your electrical cords for fraying or other signs of wear, and replace or repair any damage. Don’t run extension cords across doorways or under carpeting, and don’t overload circuits. Plug only one high-wattage appliance into a socket at a time.


Go easy on the candles - Candlelight is romantic and beautiful, but can be dangerous. Use sturdy candleholders which won’t topple. Never place candles near anything flammable, like curtains, and never leave them unattended. Consider using battery-operated candles, like LED versions. They flicker and sometimes even smell like the real thing!


Test your smoke detectors - Test smoke detectors and check batteries at least twice a year, when the clocks go forward or backward is a good time. Install an alarm inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every floor in your house, including the basement if you have one.
