Electrical safety is often ignored until something goes wrong. Follow this simple checklist to protect your family and home.

1. Check for warm plugs and switches

If a plug point or switch feels warm or makes a buzzing sound, it indicates loose connections or overloaded wiring. Call a certified electrician immediately.

2. Test your MCBs and ELCBs

Your miniature circuit breakers and earth leakage breakers should trip correctly during the test button check. Never bypass them.

3. Inspect visible wiring

Look for cracked insulation, frayed wires or rodent damage near your meter box and junction points.

4. Avoid daisy-chaining extension boards

Plugging multiple extension boards into one socket is a leading cause of fires. Spread appliances across different circuits.

5. Get an annual safety audit

Book a professional electrical audit once a year to check earthing, load distribution and connections across your home.

For any electrical concern, book a certified HomeKaro electrician at your convenience.
