Sanford, North Carolina Jul 25, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Summer brings longer days, warmer weather, and increased electrical usage in many households. M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. is committed to helping families, especially those with seniors to stay safe during the season with a few simple yet essential electrical safety tips.
Older adults can be more vulnerable to electrical hazards, especially when using outdated appliances or extension cords. M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. recommends inspecting all cords and plugs for signs of wear or damage. Frayed wiring, loose outlets, and overloaded power strips should be addressed immediately by a qualified residential electrician to prevent fire risks or electric shock.
Air conditioning units and fans work overtime during the summer months. It’s important to ensure these appliances are plugged directly into wall outlets and not extension cords. M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. emphasizes that using appliances properly not only reduces risk but also supports overall system efficiency. Regular maintenance of electrical panels and circuits is another key step, and a licensed residential electrician can perform a full inspection to identify potential problems before they escalate.
Seniors living alone or with limited mobility benefit greatly from accessible, well-lit spaces. Adding motion-sensor lighting, checking smoke detectors, and installing ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in bathrooms and kitchens are all proactive ways to enhance safety. M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. recommends professional installation of any new electrical features to ensure compliance with residential codes and safe operation.
Storms and power outages are also common in summer. M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. suggests having backup lighting solutions and surge protectors in place. A skilled residential electrician can also advise on whole-home surge protection systems for added peace of mind.
M.R. Stoner Electric Inc. remains dedicated to supporting the community with safe, expert electrical services tailored to the needs of every household. Keeping seniors safe and comfortable through the summer heat is a shared responsibility, and smart electrical habits are the first step.
