The Importance of Maintaining Your Electrical System

Faulty wiring is the number one cause of electrical fires.

MAINTAINING YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

• Electrical fire can be caused by broken wires, wire insulation drying out, loose switches or receptacles and overheating caused by dirt and oil.
• Get your electrical system checked by a licensed electrical every four years.
• Faulty wiring is the number one cause of electrical fires.  The warning signs? Flickering lights, breakers that always trip, fuses that blow, a burning smell when you plug in appliances, outlets and switches that spark and discolored wall outlets.

If there's ever a fire, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL for help.
