Electrical fires are unpredictable and bring with them severe threats to property and personal safety. Prevention is the best defense, in our opinion at Record Electrical. Below are the steps of how to safeguard your home in Canberra:

Common Electrical Fire Hazards
Old wiring: Older buildings might contain wiring that isn’t equipped to support today’s appliances.
Overloaded circuits: Too many devices connected to a single outlet make it heat up.
Faulty power points or switches: Buzzing or hot plugs are warning indications.
Overlooked switchboards: A malfunctioning or outdated switchboard poses a fire hazard.
How to Stay Safe Conduct routine electrical check-ups: Identifying problems such as short circuits or overloaded circuits early can avoid catastrophes.
Replace your switchboard: New switchboards are safer and more efficient.
Don’t neglect warning signs: Flickering lights, repeated circuit tripping, or burning outlets must be inspected by a professional immediately.
Use skilled electricians: DIY fixes can be hazardous. Let professionals handle repairs and upgrades.
