The holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but it also comes with increased electrical usage that can pose safety risks. Here are some essential electrical safety tips to keep in mind during the holidays:


  • Inspect Decorations: Before hanging holiday lights or decorations, inspect them for damage or frayed wires. Discard any damaged items.

  • Use Outdoor Lights Outdoors: If you're decorating the exterior of your home, ensure that the lights and extension cords are rated for outdoor use.

  • Avoid Overloading Outlets: Don't overload electrical outlets with too many decorations. Use power strips with built-in surge protection if needed.

  • Turn Off Decorations: Before going to bed or leaving the house, turn off holiday lights and decorations to reduce the risk of fires.

  • Keep Trees Hydrated: If you have a live Christmas tree, keep it well-watered to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.

  • Use Flameless Candles: Consider using flameless LED candles instead of traditional candles to reduce the risk of fires.


By following these electrical safety tips, you can enjoy a festive and safe holiday season with your loved ones.
