Now that the holiday season is quickly arriving, we want to make sure everyone has a safe and happy time! With the installation of holiday lights, safety can go out the window. We love getting called for repairs but our <a href=\"https:\/\/bwmsites.com\/cardoso\/residential-electrical-services-ma\/\">residential electricians <\/a>don&#8217;t want to see our customers suffering from injuries. Check out some helpful tips below to stay safe this holiday season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Inspect Wiring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Since lights, ornaments and electrical equipment have been stored in boxes for months, they could have accrued damage from a number of sources. Never use wires that are cracked, cut or damaged.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Follow the Label<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Never use an outdoor light inside the home or vice versa. Outdoor wires are designed to be used outside as they are weather-protected and hardier.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don&#8217;t Overwork the Outlets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An outlet can only supply so much power so if you overload the outlet, you&#8217;re just asking for an electrical fire. Also be aware of your breaker&#8217;s limitations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Keep Cords Out of the Way<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Don&#8217;t let furniture touch the cords and never have cords in high traffic areas.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical burns are a serious threat that should be taken care of immediately. Don&#8217;t set up holiday lights on your own without being informed of the repercussions. \u00a0Contact Cardoso Electrical Services for professional holiday light installation in MA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Holidays from the team at Cardoso Electrical Services!
