Here are a few quick and easy electrical safety tips to help you enjoy a safe and stress-free summer:
Don’t Overload Extension Leads
It’s tempting to plug in fans, chargers, and devices all at once—but overloading sockets is a fire risk. Use power strips safely, avoid daisy-chaining extension cords, and never exceed their recommended load.
Check Outdoor Sockets & Equipment
Make sure any outdoor sockets or garden lighting are fully weatherproof and in good condition. If you spot any signs of wear, rust, or loose fittings, it’s time for a replacement. Electricity and water don’t mix!
Give Fans & AC Units a Check-Up
Dusty fans or faulty portable AC units can overheat. Clean or replace filters, check for frayed wires, and make sure cords aren’t trapped or stretched across walkways.
Upgrade to LED Lighting Outside
If you’re lighting up your garden or patio, switch to energy-efficient LED lighting. They run cooler, last longer, and reduce your energy bill—win-win!
Whether you’re relaxing at home or entertaining outdoors, a quick electrical check can go a long way in keeping your home safe this summer. If you’re unsure about anything or want a professional eye, we’re happy to help.
