In the meantime, take a look:
1. Install a Carbon Monoxide Detector: Starting with the basics any home or office must have a carbon monoxide detector. Do not risk the fatal release of this poisoning. Be safe. Be proactive. Have a carbon monoxide detector professionally installed and tested. If you’re unsure if yours works, have it tested and maintained as needed. It’s not worth the risk.
2. Know the Signs of Electrical Failure: Would you know when an electrical emergency if it were right under your nose? Here they are: frequent power outages, dimming or flickering lights, arcing wires, carbon monoxide detection, burning smells. If you experience any of these, don’t wait. Call a professional right away!
3. Install Three Prong Outlets: A three prong outlet is a grounded and therefore safe outlet installation. Two prongs are outdated and need to be upgraded.
4. Whole Home Surge Protection: The best way to protect your entire house from electrical power surges caused by outside (lightning) or inside (electrical failure) interference is with whole home surge protection. Nothing will keep you more safe.
5. Install a GFCI: Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are designed to enhance household safety by preventing electrical shock. They are especially useful in kitchens and bathrooms where protection from water-related electrical problems are especially important.
