Hard to believe with last month's freak April Fool's blizzard that Summer is just around the corner. Don't get caught melting in the summer's heat. An easy and inexpensive way to cool down this summer is by installing a ceiling fan. Installing a ceiling fan is an easy DIY project, but we're always happy to come out and do it for you!
Whilst you are prepping for summer, here are a few spring electrical maintenance tasks to perform while spring cleaning:
- Make sure light bulbs are the correct wattage for your fixtures
- Replace extension cords that have become brittle, worn, or damaged
- Inspect and clean dust from your fire alarms, carbon monoxide, and radon detectors. Consider replacing batteries.
- Trip and reset your circuit breakers to ensure proper function
- Remove any combustible materials (like paint and cardboard boxes) that may have accumulated near your electrical panel.
- Check electrical outlets for loose fitting plugs and make sure the outlet provides power
- Make sure all your light switches function properly
- Install safety covers on outlets to protect children
- Make sure critical appliances (like your computer) are connected through a surge protector
