When a light goes out, it's hard not to notice the bulb needs to be replaced (unless you like to stay in the dark). But how can you tell if your power outlets are working properly? You don't want an electrical fire to serve as your wake-up call that's something is amiss.
"Many homes are equipped with new technologies to help prevent electrical fires and injuries," explains Brett Brenner, president of the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI). "Unlike a light bulb that goes dark when it needs to be replaced, there may not be any indication when these safety features aren't working properly. That's why ESFI recommends testing them every month."

PEAK ALERT: Your 'peak' time to save money |

PEAK ALERT is a voluntary program designed by your electric cooperative to hold down the cost of generating electricity by reducing the highest demand for electricity during the year.
When you hear a PEAK ALERT announcement, it doesn't mean we are running out of electricity. It means that even a small reduction in your use of electricity at that time can pay BIG dividends. In other words, a PEAK ALERT is a "peak" time for savings because it costs more to generate electricity during peak demand periods.
When you hear a PEAK ALERT announcement, you can hold down your electric bill by limiting your use to one major electrical appliance at a time, and turning off any lights, televisions or small appliances you are not using. Typically a PEAK ALERT will be issued on extremely cold winter days between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m. and between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. On extremely hot summer days, a PEAK ALERT is typically issued between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
So use all the electricity you need. But make sure you really need all you use. Remember YOU have the power to make a difference! |
