The start of a new year is the perfect time to renew our commitment to safety, specifically electrical safety. Here are a few tips to consider in 2024:
- Check your home’s alarms.
Smoke, fire, carbon monoxide and security alarms are each essential for the safety of the people you love. Use the new year as a chance to conduct one of your regular checks on these devices. - Repair or replace faulty appliances.
We all probably have an appliance that doesn’t work as well as it used to. These can be fire hazards. Get it fixed or replace it. The money you spend will be well worth the protection you receive. - Label breakers and fuses.
Circuit breakers and fuses should be correctly labeled. Unfortunately (and especially in older homes), things get mislabeled from one owner to the next. A residential electrician can help you straighten things out. This will save you frustration later on if a fuse goes out.

Energy Efficiency Tip: Consider an Electric Vehicle
While current EVs may often be more expensive to purchase than similarly sized gas-powered cars, there is the potential to end up paying less to operate an EV car over its lifetime while also reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. If you’re looking for a way to reduce your carbon footprint and potentially save money in the long term, investing in an electric vehicle (EV) is worth considering.
