Electricity offers modern day families luxuries and conveniences that have never existed before. However, the additional cords, plugs and electrical devices can also present extra hazards. While safety is important for people of all ages, it’s especially vital to inform and educate children about proper use of their electronics and appliances. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we enjoy helping local North Texas homeowners and businesses find new ways to improve the safety and efficiency of their electrical system. WE want to do the same for your DFW area family. Are you looking for ways to keep your kids safe from electrical hazards? Here are some safety tips that can help ensure the health and happiness of your little ones.
Use Safety Outlet Covers if Young Children Are in the Home
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
It’s possible to teach older children appropriate techniques for maintaining their electronics. Unfortunately, toddlers and infants can’t comprehend advanced instructions. To ensure their protection, it’s best to use prevention devices like childproof outlet covers to make sure their tiny hands stay far away from any electrical current.
Avoid Overloading Outlets with Too Many Devices
Older children use a lot of technology. A teenager’s bedroom for example might contain phone chargers, laptops, desktop computers, tablets, televisions and multiple video game consoles. It can be tempting for children to overburden outlets by using plug bars that have way too many electronics in use at one time. This could lead to short circuits, property damage and might even spark an electrical fire. Make sure there are enough outlets available in areas where your kids are most likely to use their favorite devices.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Educate Children About Cord Safety
As soon as your child can appropriately comprehend electrical safety lessons, begin to inform them about how to handle cords and plugs. Show them how to safely plug in and unplug a cord so they’re aware of the proper technique. Yanking on cords can cause big problems overtime, potentially exposing wires or pulling outlet components out of place.
Have an Evacuation Plan in Case of an Electrical Fire
Electrical fires are more common than the average family would like to think. It’s always best to prepare children ahead of time, so they know exactly what to do in an emergency. Create a family evacuation plan and explain to the kids which steps to take to get safely out of the home.
Don’t Neglect Outdoor Outlets and Extension Cords
Kids spend a lot of time outdoors. Such activities are great for growing children, but they can become injured if the family isn’t taking precautions. Teach your kids to stay far away from transformers and electrical boxes. Also, watch out for exposed outdoor outlets, extension cords and holiday lights that can present unnecessary hazards.
