It IS the most wonderful time of the year! And we at P&R Property Group want to make sure that your home is protected during this happy season.
With the decorations going up and amasses of friends and family stopping by, keeping your home safe is a top priority.
Top Holiday Safety Tips:
- Electrical Outlets: Make sure your outlets are in good working order, and don’t overload them with plugs; this is a common cause for household fires.
- Wire Checks: Check all of your wires, connections and sockets for any signs of damage. A nasty shock or in some cases even a fire, can occur.
- Candles: Aim to use battery-operated candles as often as possible. If you prefer to use regular, make sure they are never left lit without an adult in sight.
- Tree: If your tree is real, keep it adequately watered. A dry tree is a huge fire hazard.
- Lights: Never connect more than 3 strings of incandescent lights. Not only will it likely blow a fuse, it is a safety risk for fires.
- Cords: Keep your cords away from potential damage; placed under rugs, squeezed into tight spaces, pinched by furniture and located near heat sources are all un-safe.
- Your Kitchen: A no-brainer, but always stay in the kitchen when cooking. A leading cause of home fires is unattended cooking.
- Turn Off: Make sure all your decorations, candles and any other decorated light-sources are all turned off and unplugged before you go to bed.
We care about the safety of others and hope that these tips can help you keep safe and have an amazing holiday season.
And as always, we are here and available for any of your service needs.
