ELECTRICAL SAFETY
STRATEGIES TO EMPHASIZE
THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME
Electrical fi res can be deadly. But many can be
prevented with some simple safety strategies.
Electrical fi res at home may
not be foremost on the minds
of homeowners, but they’re a
notable threat that should not be
overlooked. The Electrical Safety
Foundation International reports
that home electrical fi res account
for an estimated 51,000 fi res each
year. Such fi res result in hundreds
of deaths and $1.3 billion in annual property damage.
Many electrical fi res are preventable. Various preventive
measures can be taken to reduce the risk of electrical fi res and
safeguard a home’s residents should such fi res occur. The ESFI
urges homeowners to take these tips to heart.
• Audit your home electrical system. A thorough inspection
conducted by a qualifi ed electrician to ensure that all electrical
work in the home meets the safety provisions in the NEC can
uncover any potential issues that might increase the risk of an
electrical fi re. Homeowners also can periodically conduct a
basic assessment of your home electrical system, electrical cords,
extension cords, power plugs, and outlets.
• Install smoke detectors on every level of the home.
The ESFI recommends installing smoke detectors inside each
bedroom and outside each sleeping area.
• Consider electrical upgrades. Ask a qualifi ed electrician if
your home would benefi t from AFCI protection, especially during
inspections of older homes or upgrades to electrical systems.
These advanced new safety devices recognize dangerous
conditions that are not detected by standard breakers.
• Routinely inspect fi re warning systems. Test smoke
detectors and AFCIs monthly to ensure that they are working
properly.
• Design and share a plan to escape to safety. Establish an
evacuation plan that can be used in case of an emergency, and
practice evacuating with your family frequently enough that
everyone knows exactly what to do should a fi re occur.
• Adhere to manufacturer instructions in relation to lighting
fi xtures. Always use light bulbs that match the recommended
wattage on the light fi xture.
• Childproof a home to avoid electrical accidents. In homes
with young children, install tamper-resistant receptacles to
prevent electrical shocks and burns.
• Learn to spot the signs of a system in trouble. Telltale
signs of electrical problems include dim and fl ickering lights,
unusual sizzling and buzzing sounds, and circuit breakers that
trip repeatedly. Contact a qualifi ed electrician immediately if any
such signs appear.
• Reduce reliance on extension cords. Use extension cords
only temporarily, and never use them to power space heaters or
air conditioners.
• Avoid overloading outlets. Consider having additional
circuits or outlets installed by a qualifi ed electrician as needed.
