With electric blankets, overloaded plug sockets, portable heaters & of course Christmas lights all in use, making sure you follow a few extra safety tips from our Edinburgh electrician team will help ensure everything runs smoothly and safely this festive season.
When it comes to portable heaters, there are many types currently available on the market to choose from, from electric to halogen, fan to oil filled radiator. Our Edinburgh electrician team would always advise that when you use a portable heater that it is placed on an even surface and well away from anything that could knock it over as well as being at least a metre away from curtains and furniture.
Our Edinburgh electrician team advises that you should never leave your heater unattended or on overnight while you sleep and also advise never to power a heater using an extension lead. Extension leads can easily become overloaded and in some cases lead to electrical fires.Heat detectors and smoke alarms are your first defence should an electrical mishap strike & our qualified, friendly Edinburgh electrician team are experts in safety alarm installation of all kinds.
