Electrical Safety Tips To Keep Your Home Safe This Holiday Season
Keep these electrical holiday safety tips in mind:
- Lights hung in the home should be away from curtains.
- Throw out any frayed cords.
- Use clips instead of nails, so you don’t damage the cord.
- Look for the “UL” sign on the packaging. UL stands for Underwriters Laboratory and has been approved for listed uses. The Red UL sign means it’s safe for both indoors and outdoors, and the green UL means it’s for outdoors only.
- Don’t overload outlets.
- Switch over to LEDs.
- Incandescent lights use more heat and energy than LED lights.
