Electrical Detectives will aslo be educating homeowners on newer fire prevention technology such as Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs). These advanced electronic circuit breakers detect dangerous conditions in a home's wiring and cut off power to the circuit before a fire develops.
Additionaly, Electrical Detectives will be encouraging those living in homes with children to install tamper resistant receptacles. These devices look like normal electrical outlets except they have a built-in shutter system that prevents children from inserting foreign objects into the slots. These outlets will prevent most of the 2,400 burns sustained by children each year from outlets.
For your benefit, all during the month of May we are providing a 50 point electrical safety evaluation of your home for only $49 and 10% off any service or repairs.
