Tips to Keep Your Burlington Home Safe from
Electrical Hazards in Alamance County, North Carolina
The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting electrical safety at home, school, work, and the workplace. Each year, they organize a National Electrical Safety Month theme. This year, the theme is “Connected To Safety.” It helps us to reconnect to the basics and importance of electrical safety.
Electrical Service Providers will share safety tips throughout the month and provide top-of-the-line service to Cary NC, Garner NC, Morrisville, NC, Alamance County, NC, and the surrounding areas. We’re sharing four home safety devices that can protect your home from electric hazards to kick off Electrical Safety Month. They are all part of the 2021 code.
Interrupters for the Arc-Fault Circuit
AFCIs can be used as a circuit breaker or receptacle. These devices protect homes against electrical fires and malfunctions. AFCI protection can prevent nearly half of all home electrical fires, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. AFCIs can be used in basements, crawl spaces, and bedrooms. They also work well in hallways, closets, hallways, kitchens, laundry rooms, and standard rooms.
Surge Protective Devices
Surge protectors protect your home against electrical surges that could damage or shorten the life span of devices and electrical systems. Learn more about surge protectors and what they can offer your home here.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters
The GFCIs can be used as both a circuit breaker or a receptacle. These devices protect against electric shock. They are used in areas where electricity and water may come into direct contact, such as bathrooms, crawl spaces, basements, crawl spaces, garages, and kitchens.
Tamper Resistant Receptacles
TRRs are an excellent option for families with small children. These safety devices work like regular receptacles, but they have an internal shutter system that prevents foreign objects from entering the outlet. We are happy to assist you in any way possible, whether your home is under construction, remodeling, or if you need to ensure that the electrical system is up to code.
