Friendly-Fire Tips

Older homes and apartments sometimes have inadequate wiring which can be both a fire hazard and an electrical hazard. Symptoms of inadequate wiring include, but are not limited to:

One appliance must be disconnected in order to plug another in
"Octopus" outlets are used extensively
Extension cords are used extensively
Fuse blow frequently
Circuit breakers trip frequently
Appliances such as toasters or irons are slow to heat
Lights dim noticeable when another appliance is used
Furniture arrangement is limited because there are too few outlets
Rooms and stairways must be entered in darkness because of a lack of three or four-way light switches

If you are experiencing any of these symtoms, call a qualified electrician to inspect and improve your electrical system. Fires can be very expensive!
