PowerMaster Plays It Safe (in the Best Way Possible)
Having an electrician do electrical work on your home is not just about having the job done professionally—it’s also about having the job done safely. While DIY might be an option for some electrical jobs, we strongly recommend against it. The electrical currents running through your wall have the potential to be deadly. It takes our team years to receive the knowledge they need to obtain the title of an electrician, and we encourage you to trust them for all your electrical needs!
Practicing Safety
Safety starts before your home has any work done to it by one of our electricians! The National Fire Prevention Association encourages electrical safety by providing a checklist designed to mitigate the risk of an electrical emergency. While following this list, it’s important to never touch any wires in your home, even if you think they might not be working.
Call Power Master for Help with Electrical Safety
The NFPA recommends calling an electrician or your landlord immediately if:
-
Your home frequently has blown fuses or tripping circuit breakers
-
You have a tingling sensation while touching appliances
-
Your outlets are warm or discolored
-
A burning or rubbery smell comes from appliances
-
Lights dim or flicker
-
Sparks emit from outlets
Homeowners and renters can also take important steps to ensure that an emergency electrical problem doesn’t interrupt their life.
Important steps include:
-
Using appliances approved by safety labs
-
Avoiding overloading a single outlet
-
Matching light bulbs to the proper lamp wattage
-
Using ground fault circuit interrupters and arc-fault circuit interrupters
-
Having an electrician regularly maintain your electrical system
