Safety First – September 2025
Electricity powers modern life, but it is dangerous if not handled carefully. Check back here each month for new tips on how to stay safe around electric power at your home or business.
Before long, temperatures will dip, which makes September a good month to protect against potential fall electrical issues.
- Cooler nighttime temperatures can create moisture-related problems. Check outdoor cords, outlets, and other electrical components for cracks, fraying, and other signs of wear and tear.
- Don’t let fallen leaves or debris accumulate around outside lighting, outlets, and other electrical equipment.
- Test smoke alarms and replace their batteries as needed. Cooler evenings will mean increased use of devices like space heaters that can be a fire hazard.
