Winter storms, cold snaps, and increased indoor heating all put extra strain on your home’s electrical system. Preparing ahead can prevent power outages and costly repairs.
Top tips to get ready:
-
Inspect Your Fuse Box: Ensure breakers and fuses are in good condition to handle the increased load.
-
Check Outdoor Wiring: Look for damaged cables, especially if you have outdoor lighting or power outlets.
-
Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: With heating appliances running more, safety devices are vital.
-
Avoid Overloading Circuits: Using multiple heaters or appliances on the same circuit can cause trips or fires.
-
Have Emergency Lighting Ready: Keep battery-powered lamps or candles handy in case of outages.
