The holiday season is here and before you start illuminating your home to spread the holiday cheer, there are some important holiday home safety measures that must be taken into consideration. In order for your holiday season to be worry-free you must keep these important holiday home safety tips in mind:
- If you reuse your lights each year, make sure to inspect the string of lights so that you can discard any that are cracked or have frayed cords. This will ensure the safety of your home during the holidays.
- When it comes to displaying your lights, make sure to only use lights designated for outdoor use and put your lights on a timer. Lights on timers will not only help you save on electricity costs, but it will also ensure that the lights are never on for an empty house.
- If you will be purchasing a tree for the holidays this year, make sure to pick the freshest tree on the lot. Fresh trees will not only last longer, but they are also much safer as they are more difficult to ignite. Make sure to water your tree on a daily basis to keep it fresh for long period of time.
- If you have not tested your smoke alarms in a while, make sure they are functioning properly. If they are in need of a battery change, do so before you put up your holiday lights.
- Most importantly, enjoy the holidays with your family but always remain aware of your surroundings.
Happy Holidays! We hope these helpful holidays home safety tips make for an unforgettable holiday season!
