Are Your Electrical Installations Safe?

October 25, 2018 By admin

Our homes should be safe spaces, but unfortunately there are still risks and dangers in our households. One of the most prominent dangersthat threaten properties is the risk of fire. There are many different types of fires that can occur in the home and the electrical fire is one of them.

Electrical fires are frequently caused by improper electrical installations. By making sure your electrical installations are safe, you can help prevent electrical fires in your home. At Apna, we want to protect your home from all types of fires and today would like to offer up some tips on how to determine if your electrical installations are safe and whether your home is at risk of fire.

Do they function properly?

Are your electrical installations functioning properly? Do the electronics and appliances that are plugged into the electrical outlets work normally? If you ever notice smoke or sparks coming from your electrical installations, then you are most certainly at risk of an electrical fire. If this is happening, you should have your electrical installations tended to immediately, having them assessed by a fire safety team and repaired or replaced.

Is your home older?

Living in an older home can have many benefits. They are often more spacious than their modern counterparts, are constructed using quality materials, such as hardwood floors, and tend to cost less. However, electrical technology is much safer nowadays and modern electrical installations can be trusted a lot more than older ones. If you live in an older home, it is most certainly worthwhile having a fire safety team assess your electrical installations to determine if they pose a risk and if they do, advise you on what steps to take next.

Have you had a fire safety inspection team come?

Even if you don’t live in an older home, having a fire safety inspection will drastically reduce the risk of a fire occurring in your home. The ideal time for this to happen is before you move in, but it is never too late to have your home assessed and reduce the risk of a fire occurring in it. Call us today to arrange for a team to come out and inspect your property and the electrical installations. We want your home to be the safe haven it is supposed to be and the risk of an electrical fire is something you don’t need to worry about.
