Top Tips to Reduce Electrical Fire Risk

Everyday, households across the UK are at risk of fires caused by electrical appliances. Registering your household goods with the Infoo app is a quick and easy way to keep on top of recalls as the app will alert users if they are issued. 

However, registering your appliances cannot completely safeguard against electrical fires. To help keep your household safe, here are some additional top tips:

• Ensure all electronic appliances are maintained and repair or replace those that have frayed or otherwise damaged power cables

• Check the wattage on your lamps and light fixtures and use the recommended light bulbs

• If you have an older property, consult with a registered electrician to confirm that your electrical wiring and breakers are up to standard

• Use extension cords responsibly and avoid plugging appliances into extension cords as a permanent measure

• Have a registered electrician replace outdated outlets

The Infoo app is available to download from major app stores.
