When you work with electricity every day, safety is top of mind every minute! We care about your safety at home too. We recognize National Electrical Safety Month every May, but we encourage all MVEC members to take simple, practical steps to ensure home safety year-round.

If you’re overloading electrical outlets at home, it’s probably time to call a licensed electrician to install additional outlets. Overloaded outlets can create fire hazards.

Here’s a bright idea for home safety: make sure all light bulbs are properly rated for the unit or fixture.

When was the last time you tested smoke alarms in your home? Test them every month to ensure they’re working properly.
