Winter Electrical Safety

It may be tempting to cozy up next to the space heater or relax under an electric blanket when the temperatures drop. However, it is important to keep safety in mind at all times. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we provide high quality residential and commercial electrical services for local DFW area customers. We enjoy helping our clients improve their electrical safety and efficiency, and we want you to have the same great results for your home or business. Here are some tips on how to avoid fires and other electrical hazards during the winter.

Take Care When Using Space Heaters 

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!

If you choose to use a space heater, exercise extreme caution. This is one of the biggest causes of house fires in throughout the United States. Keep it a minimum of four feet away from drapes, clothing, blankets or furniture. If you need to leave the room, even for a few minutes, turn the unit off or unplug the device. 

Think About Investing in a Standby Generator Installation 

Do winter storms often cause blackouts in your neighborhood? If you rely on electricity for your HVAC system and water heater, then you might want to consider installation a standby generator. This will ensure that your loved ones will continue to stay safe despite the weather or local electrical grid.

Be Cautious When Using Electric Blankets

Electric blankets are popular in the winter because they can keep you nice and warm while relaxing. Unfortunately, they are so comfortable that it is hard to stay awake. Remember that you should never use an electric blanket while sleeping, doing so is a major hazard. If you are going to use one, be sure that you are wide awake and turn the unit off before bedtime. 

Take Care of Faulty Wiring and Other Urgent Electrical Problems 

Your electrical system can get pushed to the max during the colder months of the year, due to a reliance on heating and extra lighting during the long, dark nights. If it has been over a year since your last electrical inspection, and you have any concerns at all that your system may not be up to par, then be sure to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. Doing so will alert you to any potential hazards, so you can repair the problem before it causes damage or health risks.
