IMPORTANT INFORMATION On October 7, 2008 Logo Electrical Services received a service call for Mr. Michael L. located in in Spring, Texas. The electrician arrived within 30 minutes of the call. Upon arrival, Mr. Michael L. described his situation to the technician and stated that he lost power in certain areas of his home.  The technician recognized the scent of possible electrical wires burning.  With the high possibility of a fire, the technician began investigating.  There were no visual signs of smoke, but upon further investigation and with his many years of experience he was able to locate the problem quickly.  The technician opened the wall and found a fire was evident; he quickly reacted and extinguished the fire.  The technician asked the homeowner to immediately contact the fire department to further ensure the safety of his family. The technician repaired the wiring and restored power for Mr. Michael L.  Fortunately, the damage was minimal, and no one was injured.

This is another example that faulty wiring is an extreme danger to you and your family.  Don’t become a statistic; call Logo Electrical Services to schedule an appointment with a licensed electrician if you feel there is a safety issue in your home or business. According to the United States Fire Administration, electrical fires in our homes claim the lives of 485 Americans each year and injure 2,305 more.  Some of these fires are caused by electrical system failures and appliance defects, but many more are caused by the misuse and poor maintenance of electrical appliances, incorrectly installed wiring, and overloaded circuits and extension cords. The Problem: During a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485 deaths, and $868 million in property losses.  Home electrical wiring causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances. The Facts: December is the most dangerous month for electrical fires.  Fire deaths are highest in winter months which call for more indoor activities and increased lighting, heating, and appliance use.  Most electrical wiring fires start in the bedroom. The Cause: Electrical Wiring. Most electrical fires result from problems with “fixed wiring” such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring.  Problems with cords in urban areas and faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential electrical fires.  Many avoidable electrical fires can be traced to misuse of electric cords, such as overloading circuits, poor maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high traffic areas. Home Appliances: The home appliances most often involved in electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers, central heating units, televisions, radios and record players.   SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.   Frayed wires can cause fires.  Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately.   Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t overload them.   Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters; pay special care to electrical appliances in the bathroom and kitchen.   When buying electrical appliances look for products evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).   Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.   If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet.  Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.   Never overload extension cords or wall sockets.  Immediately shut off, then professionally replace light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that flicker. Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical outlets.   Check your electrical tools regularly for signs of wear.  If the cords are frayed or cracked, replace them.  Replace any tool if it causes even small electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out or gives off smoke or sparks. Finally, having a working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire; and remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.   For fast service and professional repairs, call logo electric!
