This article will show you how to keep your appliances safe while enjoying summer or when you’re not around your house.

Keeping your appliances clean and other electrical equipment is part of daily chore we must do as a responsible homeowner. If left dirty, the appliances become dusty or oily which can cause fire. What you can do is to simply wipe the wires or appliances using clean clothes. But remember that you will only clean the appliances if it is unplugged to avoid accidents. Our appliances and furniture are part of our house that’s why we should always remember to clean it properly and to look after deficiencies to prevent unfortunate events.
2. Avoid overloading the outlet and electrical system with your electrical devices.
Do not overload an outlet or an extension cord as it can cause fire. Also, make sure to use outlet appropriately, take note of the voltage, and other electrical-related stuff to prevent unforeseen events. Additionally, if an appliance requires huge voltage, do not use extension for it, use a direct outlet that is used primarily for that specific appliance, so that it can handle the voltage it requires. Being responsible owner of a house and lot in Bacoor Cavite at Crown Asia’s various properties also means that you are completely aware of the voltage of each appliance you have inside your house.

Always remember to turn off/ switch off any appliance when not used. Specifically, gadgets such as computer, Xbox, PlayStation, also chargers, laptops etc. We should always remind the children for this kind of thing to avoid electrical fire.

Over usage can cause overheating, and if left unnoticed it can cause fire which can destroy your house in an instant.

Dispose it immediately, do not attempt to use it anymore since it can become fire hazards which then lead to electrical fires if left untreated. Also, do not attempt to put remedies or fix it especially if you do not have idea or knowledge regarding this. It can also hurt you once you touched it when plugged in an outlet. To avoid accidents or unfortunate events, throw it immediately or donate it to a near electrical shop.
