In September, as the weather begins to transition from summer to fall, homeowners might encounter several electrical concerns. Here are two common issues and maintenance tips to consider:
1. Overloaded Circuits
Issue: With kids going back to school and more devices being used indoors, circuits can become overloaded, leading to tripped breakers or potential fire hazards.
Tip: Ensure that high-wattage appliances are spread across different circuits. Consider upgrading your electrical panel if your home frequently experiences overloaded circuits.
2. Outdoor Lighting and Decorations
Issue: As the days get shorter, homeowners may start using outdoor lighting more frequently, or begin setting up fall decorations that require power.
Tip: Check outdoor outlets for damage and ensure they are GFCI-protected. Also, use weatherproof extension cords and outdoor-rated lights.
