Home Repairs? Renovations?
Beware!
Think safety when working on your home
It is usually best to hire a professional
electrician to make any
improvements or additions to your
home’s electrical system. Even tasks
that appear simple, such as the installation
of a baseboard heater or additional
electrical outlets, can be more
difficult than they appear.
If you are constantly blowing
fuses or popping circuit breakers, it is
time for you to contact your electrician.

serviced by each circuit.
Do you need to work in rooms
containing water — like the kitchen
or bathroom? Because water is an
excellent conductor of electricity, you
should take the required precautions.
Ensure that all surfaces are clean and
dry and that your feet are dry,connect
your electric tool to an outlet
equipped with a differential circuit
breaker,and ensure that electric cords
and extension cords do not make contact
with any pool of water.
Do you need to replace a fuse?
Before replacing a blown fuse,be sure
that you have a replacement fuse of
the same rating, place the master
switch in the OFF position,and,before
restoring current, reduce the load by
disconnecting a few electrical
devices. If a circuit breaker pops, this
