Electrical fires are a phenomenon that can strike without warning! Even if you take good care of your electrical equipment, the risk of them happening is always present. In order to contain the damage before it gets bad, you should know what the warning signs are. To best prepare and protect your property from electrical fires, we'll show you the biggest warning signs of them below!

Your Circuit Breaker Constantly Trips

Your circuit breaker is designed to prevent an overload of electricity, which is one of the biggest causes of electrical fires. If you’ve noticed a consistent pattern of tripping them, it means one of three things: you have too many things in your surge protector, you have a short circuit in your appliance, or the breaker is faulty. All three need to be addressed!

Things Smell Burnt

If you notice a consistent burnt smell, but are unable to identify its source, it's likely due to a short circuit on one of your appliances. To be safe, disconnect them all and determine the exact appliance that's causing the issue. An electrician should be able to solve that problem and prevent costly property damages!
