Tips
- If your power goes out a lot or the lights in your home flicker, smell bad or make noise, have an electrician come to inspect your wiring.
- Never run power cords across traffic paths or under rugs or furniture.
- Remember that extension cords are only a temporary solution, do not use them on a continuous basis.
- The electrical outlet in the bathroom should have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). This is a tool that protects you from a dangerous shock when water and electricity come together. An electrician can install a GFCI for you.
