As summer approaches, the frequency of thunderstorms and strong winds increases, making it more important than ever to pay attention to electrical safety at home. With higher electricity usage during this season, ensuring the safe operation of household appliances becomes crucial. Many electrical failures stem from improper use or outdated wiring. Issues like unstable voltage, aging wires, and overloaded circuits can lead to serious accidents. To prevent such problems, it's essential to not only choose reliable appliances but also maintain a safe electrical environment.
**Regularly inspect your power lines**
One of the most overlooked aspects of home electrical safety is the condition of the wiring and sockets. In older homes, this can be particularly dangerous. Common issues include messy wiring, tight insulation, deteriorating wire covers, and overloading single outlets. Additionally, many people neglect the quality of the socket itself, often opting for cheaper options that may lack proper flame resistance, surge protection, or safety features. These flaws can lead to appliance malfunctions or even electrical fires.
**Check fans and air conditioners first**
With the rising temperatures in summer, it's wise to inspect all major appliances before using them. Check the condition of cords, plugs, and connections—replace any damaged parts immediately. For frequently used devices like air conditioners, clean the filters regularly. Refrigerators should have expired food removed, and electric fans need their screws checked for tightness. Avoid running large appliances simultaneously to reduce strain on the electrical system.
It’s also a good idea to unplug or turn off the power switch for all appliances except the refrigerator, which requires continuous operation.
**Unplug the TV after watching**
The TV is often considered a “heat generator,†so special care is needed during hot and humid summer days. According to Bao Wenjing, brand director at CLP Panda Home Appliances Co., Ltd., overheating can occur due to poor ventilation or improper placement. Avoid covering the TV with objects and keep it away from walls to allow proper airflow. After use, it's best to unplug the TV—not only to save energy but also to protect it from potential lightning damage during summer storms.
