Electricity is essential — but it can be dangerous if not treated with care. Here are 6 quick tips to keep your home safe:

1. Don’t Overload Sockets

Avoid stacking adapters. Use surge-protected extension leads and don’t daisy-chain them.

2. Test Your Smoke Alarms

Test monthly and change batteries every year.

3. Check Appliance Cables

Look for fraying, burn marks, or exposed wires.

4. Keep Water Away from Sockets

Never use electrical devices near sinks or bathtubs.

5. Install RCD Protection

These life-saving devices cut power in milliseconds during a fault.

6. Get Periodic Electrical Inspections

Especially if your property is more than 20 years old.
