1. Regularly Inspect Electrical Cords and Outlets
Electrical cords and outlets can become damaged over time. Regularly check for frayed wires, exposed metal, or scorch marks. If you notice any damage, replace the cords immediately and consider having a professional inspect your outlets.
2. Avoid Overloading Outlets
Overloading outlets with multiple appliances can lead to overheating and increase the risk of electrical fires. Use power strips with built-in surge protectors and distribute the load across different outlets.
3. Use the Right Wattage for Light Bulbs
Always use the recommended wattage for your light fixtures. Using a higher wattage than recommended can cause the fixture to overheat, potentially leading to a fire. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines for the correct wattage.
