Electricity is part of all our lives, we use it from the moment we wake up (switch on the lights, boil the kettle), throughout the day (radio, TV, PC) and while we sleep (alarms, electric blanket). As a result, we sometimes forget how powerful and dangerous it can be.

Simply by having the electrics in your home checked regularly you can reduce the risk of fire and electric shock.

Do:

  • call us immediately if you see burn marks or sockets feel hot
  • find out how old your wiring is and get the installation checked every 10 years or when you move into a property
  • turn off unused electrical appliances at night when a fire can spread quickly and unnoticed
  • check for fraying on flexible cables to appliances
  • take extra care when using portable appliances, especially with items which become hot such as hairdryers
  • check the rating of extension leads and splitters, make sure you don't overload them
  • regularly test smoke alarms and replace batteries

Don't

  • put electric heaters near curtains
  • cover vents on heating units
  • trail flexible cables under carpets or rugs
  • use bulbs with highter wattage than stated on the fitting
  • use equipment outdoors without an RCD
  • remove the battery from a smoke alarm to silence it
  • let fat or grease build up on the cooker
