Appliance Safety Tips

  • Regularly inspect your extension cords for fraying and never use an extension cord as permanent wiring.
  • Instead of a simple extension cord, get a UL-approved unit with built-in circuit breakers.
  • Routinely check your wiring. Look for outlets that don't work, light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that flicker.
  • Never overload outlets or extension cords.
  • Immediately repair appliances or lamps that sputter or spark.
  • Keep appliances away from wet areas in the kitchen, bathroom, basement and garage.
  • If an appliance has a three-prong plug, never force it into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.
  • Don't let children play near electrical space heaters. Keep clothes, curtains and other flammable items at least three feet away from heaters.
  • In case of a fire, stay low to the ground, beneath the smoke, and have an escape plan already worked out.
  • Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home. Test the batteries every month and change them at least once a year.
