Minimize the Use of Extension Cords
Reduce the number of extension cords you use throughout your home. Connecting two or more together can create a fire hazard. Instead. Place items that need to be plugged in closer to the outlets. You can also choose to use a longer extension cord for added reach.
Keep Your Dryer Vent Clean
While it’s common knowledge to keep your lint trap clean, the dryer vent that leads outside can still become clogged with fine bits of debris and lint. One a month, use your vacuum hose to sweep deep into the lint trap. You can also use a shop vac to remove debris from the outside as well. At least once a year, remove the vent and blow it out with an air compressor.
Replace Frayed Cords
Cords on appliances that are used often can start to fray. As soon as signs of fraying, or any other type of damage, start to appear, have the cords replaced.
