Are you one of the next 24,000 house fires caused by an electrical issue this year? That’s how many are reported annually, and it’s often due to a lack of updated knowledge. Now, I don’t want to scare you into reading this, but let’s face it – it’s kind of become a social media tradition, hasn’t it? So, welcome to Scare-Tactics 101. But don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, let’s consider a few things:

– Faulty outlets and appliances, outdated cords and switches are some of the most common ignition sources.

– The misuse of extension cords and improperly rated light fixtures also contribute significantly.

– Space heaters pose a risk if placed near flammable surfaces.

– Homes over 20 years old might not have the wiring capacity to handle today’s electrical demands, leading to potential overloads.

– Clothes dryer fires are more common than you might think. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that dryers and washing machines cause an average of 15,970 fires each year, with dryers causing 92% of them and an average of $200 million in property damage.

But it’s not just about fire hazards. It’s about your hard-earned money slowly disappearing due to energy inefficiencies. These factors often go unnoticed until they result in a blown fuse, a skyrocketing energy bill, or worse, a dangerous house fire.

At this point, you might be wondering: why am I sharing this with you? It’s simple. As Energy Efficiency consultants, we’re passionate about equipping homeowners like you with the right knowledge to avoid these pitfalls. Sure, we do get compensated if you end up purchasing something from a partner, but our main goal is to help you prevent these risks, save money, and even improve your home’s comfort, all at no cost to you and is simple to get started as filling out this Energy Consumption Survey.

Did you know that your air conditioner should only run at a temperature 20° less than it is outside? Or that your windows radiate 95° temperatures right next to the vent trying to get your house to 72 degrees? And let’s not even get started on dryer settings. Hotter and shorter, or cooler and longer? It’s like the Goldilocks of laundry decisions.

Remember when Grandma used to say, “Close the door, we’re not air conditioning the whole neighborhood!” Well, if your home isn’t properly insulated, you kind of are. And if it’s overly insulated, you might as well be growing your own indoor moldy rainforest. Sorry, Grandma.
