Did you know? May is National Electrical Safety Month.

To help avoid small issues that turn into big headaches, here are some tips + tricks from the experts at Peterman Brothers:

  1. Watch your circuits: Too many plugs? That’s a trip waiting to happen.
  2. Check appliances: Worn or aging appliances can quietly cause problems.
  3. Use surge protectors: Stick to one per outlet; no daisy chains.
  4. Know your breaker’s age: 30+ years? It might be time for a check-up.

When in doubt, call the experts at 317-210-4544.
