The school year is officially underway,
and for many Georgia families, that means busy mornings, homework-filled evenings, and plenty of devices plugged in around the clock. With laptops, tablets, and chargers in constant use — plus kitchen appliances running during those early breakfast rushes — your home’s electrical system is working harder than ever.
Now is the perfect time to make sure your home is safe, efficient, and ready for the demands of the school season.
Avoid Overloaded Outlets
Back-to-school often means more electronics in one room — especially in homework areas. Use power strips with surge protection and avoid plugging too many devices into a single outlet.
Upgrade to USB Outlets
Streamline charging for tablets, phones, and e-readers without cluttering your counters or desks with bulky adapters.
Brighten Study Spaces with LED Lighting
Good lighting reduces eye strain and boosts focus. LED bulbs use less energy and last longer, saving you money in the long run.
Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
With more time spent indoors during the school year, it’s important to make sure your safety systems are working properly.
Schedule an Electrical Safety Inspection
A professional inspection can catch potential hazards before they cause problems — keeping your family safe and your home running smoothly.
