Winter brings not just a drop in temperatures but a rise in the need for household electricity to keep your home warm and functional. Here at A.B. May Heating, A/C, Plumbing & Electrical, we prioritize keeping your home safe and efficient during the cold months. This is especially pressing after reading the harrowing experience of Brian E., who returned from a trip only to find that an electrical breaker had failed, nearly leading to a fire. Thankfully, A.B. May’s technicians, like Joseph Maya, remedied the situation swiftly, ensuring safety and restoring power efficiently.

Stay Safe This Winter with Expert Tips

When the winter chill sets in, the demand for electricity surges as heaters, additional lights, and holiday decorations come into play. Here are some essential tips to ensure your home remains both safe and efficient during this season:

1. Check Electrical Systems Regularly

Routine checks are key. Similar to how Antonio took great care inspecting a customer’s electrical system thoroughly to ensure all was in order, you’ll want to be proactive in checking your circuit breakers and outlets for any signs of wear or overheating. Look for flickering lights or unexplained appliance shut-offs, which can be signs of a more significant underlying issue.

2. Maintain Your Heating Systems

A well-maintained heating system not only provides comfort but reduces strain on your electrical system. A.B. May offers comprehensive heating maintenance services, ensuring your systems like furnaces and heat pumps are running efficiently. By doing so, you minimize the risk of overloading circuits during peak usage times.

3. Use Power Surge Protectors

Investing in surge protection is a great safety measure, especially during winter storms. Customer Carol B. shared how valuable the installation of a surge protector by A.B. May was, which offered peace of mind and protection against unpredictable power surges.

4. Insulate for Efficiency

Proper insulation can significantly decrease your reliance on electrical heating. This prevents heat from escaping your home, keeping you warm and reducing your electrical load. At A.B. May, we recommend combining good insulation practices with thermally efficient appliances for maximum savings.

5. Opt for LED Holiday Lighting

With the festive season, opting for LED lights over traditional incandescent bulbs helps reduce your electric bill while being environmentally friendly. LEDs use up to 75% less energy and last much longer, thus reducing the frequency of replacements.
