Follow Electrical Safety Guidelines During the Holidays

When it comes to decorating for the holidays, many families are unaware of the potential dangers that may be hidden from plain sight, especially when it comes to using electrical lights or decorations. Leaving Christmas lights on overnight can end up causing your home to catch on fire – even your Christmas tree – if they are not safe and if your home is not inspected for proper electrical circuitry. Luckily, Cirtcele Electric, your trusted Mesa electrician can perform a routine inspection of your home’s electrical panels, outlets, and holiday decorations for proper wiring. Christmas lights and lighted decorations are typically used year after year so most home owners are unaware that the wiring can become frayed increasing the chance of fire. Christmas Lights

To start a fire, you only need three things – heat, oxygen, and material – and typically all three of these are present around the holidays, especially when lights are left on for an extended period. Next, your home outlets, wiring, and even your circuit boxes need to be inspected to ensure there will be no problems when it comes to using electricity. This can even be a great safety measure for any occasion not just the holidays.

Don’t wait for a disaster to occur before calling for help. Contact your local Phoenix electrician to come out, perform an inspection, and get the job done right for your family. Celebrate the holiday season in a well decorated and safe home with no risk of fire or short circuiting your power supply. A routine inspection can ensure your home is up-to-code on your electrical panel, wiring, and outlets. You may think your lights should be safe since they are new but don’t realize your homes wiring and outlets may not be able to handle the high-load caused by daisy-chaining your lights and plugging them into one outlet. Also, Cirtcele Electric can discuss with you power saving options for the holidays. You don’t want to miss out on this exciting opportunity to make your home safe and beautifully decorated for the holidays.
