The weeks ahead typically lead to more electrical usage than any other time of the year, and overlooking simple safety steps can lead to overloaded circuits, nuisance breaker trips, and even preventable fire risks.

Green Light Electric notes that older homes across Florida often have fewer dedicated circuits, which means adding multiple extension cords or plugging multiple high-draw items into a single room can quickly exceed safe electrical limits. The team encourages homeowners to assess their current outlets, consider where power is being drawn from, and ensure that decorations are being installed with safety in mind.

Even small proactive steps can help avoid system stress this time of year. Green Light Electric recommends:

• Avoid connecting multiple extension cords end-to-end • Use outdoor-rated cords and outlets for exterior displays • Spread items across different circuits, not just different outlets • Do not plug major appliances and holiday décor into the same circuit • Schedule a panel check if breakers are frequently tripping

These precautions can help prevent unnecessary issues and keep homes safe while still enjoying holiday lighting and décor. Green Light Electric can evaluate electrical panels, confirm safe load distribution, and make recommendations that support both safety and efficiency.
