Jacksonville, FL Home Inspector Grinch or Christmas Hero

Jacksonville, FL Home Inspector Shocking Christmas Find

During a recent home inspection in Jacksonville, FL I found what could have made for a shocking Christmas. I pointed this out to the seller and he then realized the potential hazrd he had created by doing something as simple as putting up Christmas lights.

Here are a few more holiday safety tips

 

• When putting up lights outside your home, make sure that they are rated for outdoor use and approved by Underwriters Laboratories
• Check each string for cracked or broken light sockets, wires with damaged covering.
• Throw away any damaged lights.
• Do not use more than 3 sets of lights in any string
• Always use a 3-prong extension cord approved for outdoor use
• Always make sure your ladder is dry and firmly in place
• Do not use staples or nails to hold up your lights
• Turn off all lights before you go to bed or leave the house
