Del-Air Electrical In Sanford, Florida Announces Holiday Electrical Safety Tips

SANFORD, Fla. - Dec. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Del-Air Electrical is a full service electrical contracting company offering commercial, residential, and industrial electrical renovations in Florida.  Del-Air Electrical’s licensed electrical contractors announce two basic holiday electrical safety tips: don’t overload the electrical circuits and beware of counterfeit electrical products.

Every December, neighborhoods all over Sanford, FL are lit up with holiday displays.  The electrical power required to run household appliances and exterior lights can exceed the capacity of the electrical wiring, leading to an overloaded circuit.  An overloaded circuit is not a fire hazard because there is an “overcurrent protective device” on the main circuit breaker that will automatically shut off power to all circuits before further damage can be done.  Should a circuit breaker trip multiple times then there is an overload problem.  Del-Air Electrical recommends an immediate solution of shifting the plug-in electrical devices from the overloaded circuit to another circuit, and then flip the circuit breaker back on.  A permanent solution is to have a professional electrician run a new circuit in the home to better distribute and stabilize the electrical power.

“Each year consumers purchase new holiday lights, pre-lit Christmas trees, or other electrical holiday decorations, but buyers beware. Counterfeit electrical products are on the market worldwide,” says Joe Strada, Owner of Del-Air Electrical.  Counterfeit electrical products are dangerous and potentially defective.  They can also be difficult to pick out amongst the large array of options.  Consumers should look for the CSA, UL or ETL-SEMKO certification marks that are often tagged on the electrical cord or near the plug.  Beware of low prices on electrical products. Del-Air Electrical would also like consumers to be observant of warning labels.  If there are grammatical errors or conflicting information on the packaging it is a clear indication that the product may be counterfeit.
