May is Electrical Safety Month, and the intent is to educate people about the potential dangers associated with electricity, including how to prevent electrical accidents, injuries, and fires in homes and businesses.
While Electrical Safety Month serves as a focused period for raising awareness, Mr. Electric believes that practicing electrical safety is important year-round. It's crucial to remain vigilant and proactive in preventing electrical accidents and ensuring your safety, as well as that of your family, employees, and your community.
At Mr. Electric, our experienced professionals are not just raising awareness about electrical safety in homes, workplaces, and communities. We are helping people take preventive measures to ensure the correct installation and maintenance of electrical systems. In our ongoing effort to foster a culture of safety, we are also educating individuals on how to identify and address electrical hazards in their homes and businesses.
Get On The Fast Track To Safeguarding Your Home and Office
When it comes to electrical safety in the home, professional NASCAR driver Zane Smith is leading the way. On race day, Zane trusts his team to take the right steps to ensure a safe and successful day at the track. Because when the margin of victory is measured in seconds, even the smallest details matter. The team at Mr. Electric strives to instill this same level of trust in our customers by identifying and addressing even the smallest electrical safety issues before they cause a problem.
While taking proactive measures to protect your home and business seems like a no-brainer, many people are unaware that they don’t have the protection they need to keep their home, business, and valuable electrical equipment safe and secure.
A recent survey revealed that over 65% of people don’t have the protection offered by a whole-home surge protector. A whole-home surge protector is essential for protecting the sensitive electronics you rely on every day. In addition, over 75% of people surveyed don’t have a backup power generator for their property. This makes homes, businesses, and contents vulnerable to damage when storms or other events impact a property and leave it without power for an extended period.
Live in a home or work in a business that uses gas appliances? CO2 detectors should also be part of your protection plan. If you already have detectors installed, it’s important to test them regularly. While 80% of people surveyed agree carbon monoxide detectors are important, only 53% of those people have upgraded their detectors in the past 7-10 years. Is your carbon monoxide detector beeping? It may need to be replaced.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to get up to speed with the protection your home or business needs to stay safe. The Mr. Electric team of local service pros have the experience and expertise to put you on the fast track to a better and safer environment by ensuring your electrical system is up-to-date. Our home electrical safety inspection will ensure your home and business are protected in the event of an emergency.
Electrical Safety Is Our Top Priority
While electrical safety may be a top priority for you, it’s not always obvious when it comes to new installations and upgrades. Things like floodlights, motion-activated lighting, pathway lighting, and security cameras all help create a safer, more secure environment around your home and business. If your home or business doesn’t have these features or they need to be updated, your local Mr. Electric can help. In addition, we can also bring an outdated home or business into the present with smart devices that add ease and convenience to everyday life.
Consider adding a smart thermostat to control your home environment, whether you’re home or away. Or, make life a little easier with the addition of smart lighting that lets you create the perfect atmosphere for your home or business.
