Frequently Questionable Electrical Advice
Electrical problems can be frustrating to deal with. But bad advice, even when it’s well-meaning, can be dangerous and expensive. Here are a few myths and misconceptions we’ve seen in people trying to handle their own electrical issues.
I can plug as many devices in as I want as long as I use a power strip.
Power strips are not a fix for overloading outlets. Each outlet is designed to handle a specific load, and plugging in too many devices can cause overheating and fire hazards. Be mindful of the total wattage plugged into a single outlet.Flipping the breaker is a magic fix-all, right?
Continuously resetting a tripped breaker without investigating the root cause (like an overload or short circuit) can be dangerous. If a breaker trips frequently, it’s a sign of a larger issue that needs to be addressed by a professional. Just because the lights came back for now doesn’t mean everything is fine forever!It’s safe to do electrical work if the power is off.
Even when the power is off, there can still be live circuits in other parts of the home. We like to joke around sometimes, but live wires are no laughing matter. Working on electricity without proper knowledge can lead to serious injury or even death. Always use a voltage tester to confirm there’s no current before attempting any electrical work in your home, and consider hiring a professional for safety and peace of mind.More About Common Electrical Issues
