Be sure your fuses and circuit breakers are sufficient for the loads (amperage) that each circuit is designed to handle.
Use only one heat-producing
appliance on the same circuit at the same time.
Install ground fault circuit interruption protection (GFCI) for all kitchen counter, outdoor, basement, garage, and bathroom outlets.
Replace damaged appliance and
extension cords. Don't plug extension chords into each other.
Don't run extension cords under carpets, across doorways, or pinch them under furniture or between walls and furniture.
If any power tool or appliance feels too hot or smells funny,
unplug it immediately and have it serviced or replaced.
If children are in the home, all outlets should be covered with a child protective cover so that objects cannot be stuck in the outlet.
