• Before you decorate your home with strings of lights, inspect each set and make sure it’s not damaged. If it is – don’t use it!
• Replacing bulbs? Make sure the replacement is the same wattage as the original.
• Use bulbs that come with fuses attached to the plugs.
• Remember to only insert or remove bulbs when that string of lights is unplugged from the outlet.
• Use outdoor holiday lights outside, use indoor holiday lights inside.
• Upgrade from your old, overheating strings of lights to new lights that stay cooler longer.
• Use extension cords when necessary; don’t stretch the strings of lights, which can become frayed, damaged and dangerous.
• Never use more than three strings of lights per extension cord. Overloading an outlet can be very dangerous!
• Does your family favor a fake Christmas tree? If it’s metallic, don’t use electric holiday lights to decorate it, which could lead to electric shock.
• Every electrical holiday decoration (especially the ones outside) needs to be plugged into a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Don’t position electrical cables in precarious ways like under rugs or in high-traffic areas in your home.
• Turn holiday lights on only when you’re at home – this will also conserve energy and help you save on your electricity bill!
• Blow a fuse? Replace it only using those provided with the holiday lights.
• Use an outlet power breaker strip to avoid accidents caused by overloaded electrical outlets.
• You know that rule about keeping electrical cords away from moisture (like snow)? It applies to holiday stringed lights too!

There’s nothing like an electrical emergency to dampen the holiday mood, so keep these safety measures in mind as you’re decorating.

• If your electrical system is old, it may have become overloaded through the years. As we add appliances to our homes or business, it causes the electrical system to be overloaded. Call a licensed Raleigh electrician like those on staff at Progressive Electrical Service to inspect your system to determine whether repairs are necessary.
• When using electrical appliances, always follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions. If you’re not sure about whether something is safe, contact the company or consult their web site.
• Check the electrical cords in your home or office. If they are frayed, damaged or underneath rugs, they could pose a hazard.
• Consider installing arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), which prevent electrical fires, or ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), which guard against dangerous electrical currents.
• If you opt for GFCIs, test them monthly. Also remember to test your smoke detector, so if an electrical fire does occur, you’re alerted immediately.

Stay safe, and remember to call Progressive Electrical Service for all your Raleigh electrical system needs.
