Give your appliances and lights a square meal
Would you say that having enough to eat was pretty important in the home that you know?
The "food" for your appliances and lights is electricity, and like you they must be "fed" enough.
What to Do
1. List the appliances and lights in your home.
2. See if any of them are "starving" for the electricity they need.
3. Learn how the electricity gets to where it's used.
4. Make a chart of the electrical circuits in your home.
5. Make sure that each circuit is protected with the right fuse or circuit breaker.
