Important Electrical Safety Tips for Your Property
At Charleston Electric, we care about the well-being of our neighbors. Protecting your home or business starts with being aware of and maintaining your electrical system's health. A few straightforward habits can go a long way in preventing electrical problems and keeping everyone safe.
For peace of mind, consider incorporating these simple checks into your routine:
- Inspect your cords. Periodically look over the cords on your appliances for any visible fraying or damage and discontinue using any that seem worn.
- Avoid overloading outlets. Instead of plugging many devices into one outlet, use a high-quality surge protector to handle your electronics safely.
- Understand your electrical panel. Knowing how to shut off the main power or an individual breaker in an emergency is essential. A breaker that trips repeatedly indicates that the circuit is overloaded and should be inspected.
- Match bulb wattage to fixtures. Using a light bulb with a higher wattage than the fixture is rated for can lead to overheating and create a serious fire risk.
These small steps are powerful ways to maintain a safer environment. If you ever spot an issue like a tripped breaker or have any other electrical concerns, know that Charleston Electric is ready to provide prompt and dependable service.
When to Call for Emergency Electrical Services
Some electrical issues go beyond being a simple nuisance; they're urgent signals that require a swift response to prevent property damage or serious safety hazards.
If you notice any of the following issues in your home or business, it's time to act quickly:
- Burning odors. A persistent burning smell from an outlet, appliance, or electrical panel is a critical warning of a dangerous issue.
- Sparks or scorch marks. Any sparks from an outlet during use or visible charring around the plugs require immediate professional service.
- Loud electrical noises. Buzzing or humming sounds from your breaker box or outlets can indicate overloaded wiring or other significant problems.
- Dimming or flickering lights. When lights dim or flicker every time a major appliance kicks on, it can point to a problem with your home's electrical system.
- Any electrical shock. If you feel even a minor shock when touching a switch or appliance, it's a clear sign of a serious wiring fault that must be resolved immediately.
Should you encounter any of these red flags, please do not hesitate. Call Charleston Electric to schedule emergency service.
