Omaha Electrician Teaches Surge Protector Safety

Always be aware of the electrical hazards that can happen in your home! Every year, thousands of fires result from surge protectors, power strips and electrical cords. Advanced Electrical Services has a few safety tips for you to keep your family safe!

Use only surge protectors or power strips that have an internal circuit breaker- these units will trip the breaker if the power strip is overloaded or shorted to prevent overheating. Surge protectors, power strips or extension cords are not a substitute for permanent wiring. Make sure they are UL or ETL Certified.

Its smart to replace your surge protectors yearly. Never put a surge protector or power strip where the unit will be covered with carpet, furniture or anything that will limit air circulation. Never staple, tack or tape a surge protector. Make sure to check all surge protectors on a regular basis to make sure they are not damaged in anyway.

Any surge protector or power strip that does not have an internal circuit breaker, has frayed wires, or has a unit that is not working properly, must be replaced immediately! Never plug a surge protector or power strip into an existing surge protector or power strip. This is called "daisy chaining" or "piggy backing" and can lead to serious electrical problems! When the surge protector is not in use- make sure to unplug it. Never get a surge protector wet! You could be electrocuted!

Wouldn’t a surge protector that protects the entire house be a better solution? Of course it would! Several manufacturers make whole-house surge protectors. This type of protector is installed close to the electrical panel, and it's a job that should be done only by a qualified electrician. it suppresses surges not only on the power lines, but also surges that come into the home on the cable and telephone lines. Just remember it only takes a few seconds to lose alot of expensive high quality equipment!

Why won't they air the good games?

This is STUPID! I'm a Yankee fan and they don't air any of the good baseball games on tv and I can't find it on atdhe.net I live in Omaha, NE and they're airing all these stupid games like Astros at the Cubs that don't mean anything, I can't buy the MLB package because my parents are too cheap and i cant afford to pay for it. This just plain SUCKS I haven't been able to watch a Yankee game in weeks!

well yankees arent the only the thing is with famous teams like yanks they need to make money by giving "out of market" games which are usually on special sports pricy channels so you buy them or get the mlb package (because with a famous team liek yankees people are willing to buy packs) also it gives promotion options to mlb.tv because blackberry and iphone payed to have some games exclusively for iphone and blackberry
