As summer is turning into fall, it is always important to keep your electrical safety in mind. This means properly retiring your electrical devices for next year and making sure your winter appliances are in optimal condition.
Check out these safety tips from Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) to review #bestpractices for winter electrical care:
• Safely store warm weather tools like lawn mowers and trimmers. Check winter weather tools, such as leaf and snow blowers, along with their #powercords, for unusual wear and tear.
• Unplug and safely store battery chargers that will not be in use again until spring.
• Use only weatherproof electrical devices for outside activities.
• Keep dry leaves swept away from outdoor lighting, outlets, and power cords.
• Make sure electric blanket power cords are not frayed, cracked, or cut.
• Do not tuck your electric blanket under mattresses and do not place anything on top - including pets!
