The festive break is a time for fun and festivities, but with extra lights, heaters, and decorations, it’s also a time when electrical accidents can happen. Keeping your home safe during the holidays doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple steps can help protect your family and prevent problems like fires or electrical faults.

Top Electrical Safety Tips for this season

• Check your Fairy Lights: Before putting up decorations, look for frayed wires or broken bulbs. LED lights are a safer choice because they use less energy and don’t get hot
• Avoid Overloading Sockets: Don’t plug too many things into one extension lead. Spread your lights and devices across different sockets to avoid overheating
• Switch off at Night: Always turn off Fairy lights and other electrical decorations before bed or when you leave the house. It’s a simple step to reduce fire risk
• Be Careful with Heaters: If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from anything flammable like curtains or furniture. Never leave them running when you’re not in the room
