Spring is here, and we are excited to start enjoying all it has to offer! While you are cleaning up around the house and yard, here are some electrical maintenance tips that are particularly important for spring:
1. Check outdoor electrical outlets: Spring is a great time to check your outdoor electrical outlets and extension cords to ensure they are in good condition. Look for any damage or signs of wear and tear, and replace or repair as needed.
2. Clean your air conditioning unit: If you have an air conditioning unit, it's important to clean it before the warm weather arrives. Clear any debris that has accumulated around the unit and check that the electrical connections are secure. If you have any concerns, our electricians or refrigeration mechanics can look at it to put your mind at ease.
3. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: Spring is a good time to test your detectors and replace the batteries if needed. This ensures they are in good working order and can alert you to any potential fires or harmful gases.
4. Check your outdoor lighting: Take a look at your outdoor lighting and ensure that all fixtures are in good condition. Replace any burnt-out bulbs and clean the fixtures to improve their performance.
5. Schedule a professional inspection: If you're unsure about the state of your electrical system, consider scheduling a professional inspection with one of our technicians at Wirehead Electric. An electrician can identify any potential hazards and recommend necessary repairs or upgrades.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your electrical system is in good condition to minimize any breakdowns taking time away from the things that you would rather be doing.
