Storm and Electrical Safety Tips

  • Look after outbuildings: barns, pump houses and workshops often end up with old wiring.

  • Extension cords there often became permanent. Have them checked.

  • Use GFCI protection where there is water or damp ground.

  • Plan for your well pump: on a private well, a power outage also means no water.

  • A properly sized generator with a transfer switch or interlock can keep the pump and essentials running.

  • Use generators safely: run portable generators outside, far from doors, windows and the garage.

  • Never plug one into a wall outlet.

  • Protect against summer lightning: our afternoon storms bring a lot of lightning.

  • A whole-home surge protector at the panel helps guard your electronics.

  • Add point-of-use protectors for TVs and computers.

  • Give older homes a checkup: they can have aging panels, ungrounded outlets and outdated wiring.

  • A safety inspection can catch problems early.

  • Call 811 before you dig, for fence posts or trenching a new circuit.

  • Call 811 or use Sunshine 811 first so buried lines get marked.

  • Stay clear of downed lines. Treat every downed line as live.
