Top 5 Fall Safety Tips

As the days get shorter and the trees change color it can only mean that fall is near. This change in weather patterns and temperature can bring new challenges to electrical safety around the household. At Accl Electrical we want you to stay safe and get the most out of your fall electrical services. Below we have listed the top five fall safety tips for this fall season!

1. Storing away summer and spring electrical equipment safely:

The one thing that nobody enjoys is the packing and storage of summer electrical household items. To protect your household from unnecessary electrical hazards its important to make sure that they are stored safely. The type of equipment we are talking about includes warm weather tools such as lawn mowers, trimmers, and any other electrical devices. Protecting your equipment from severe weather conditions can ensure safety and longer use of that device, it is also important to drain these items of any leftover gas or fuel.

2. Ensuring outdoor electrical equipment is weatherproof:

Ensuring that leaf blowers, lawn mowers, or any other equipment are able to withstand the cold weather, rain, or snow also pays an important role in fall safety. If you’re unsure whether or not your electrical tools are weatherproof, feel free to contact our team of electricians at ACCL Electrical.

3. Electrical equipment near dry leaves:

Dry leaves are often overlooked as an electrical danger. To ensure your household’s safety in Fall, keep all dry leaves away from any electrical equipment including lighting, cords and outlets. Make this part of your household routine and get into the habit of cleaning up all the dry leaves.

4. Ensure all cords and electrical wiring is damage-free:

Before the cold weather and rain rolls in its best to inspect all outdoor electrical wiring and cords to ensure that they are damage free. Even a small rip or tear in an electrical cord can make any devices susceptible to danger.

5. Inspecting outdoor electrical equipment for damage:

Since you will be already checking your electrical wiring and cords for any damage it’s also good practice to check all other electrical equipment. This includes hot tubs, pools, and saunas.
