Other ways to create a safe electrical environment in your home are ……

• Install Tamper-Resistant Receptacles in your home.  The National Electrical Code® (NEC) requires tamper-resistant receptacles to be installed in new homes.
• Install combination arc fault circuit interrupter breakers in your electrical panel.  Fire caused by arc faults is a serious threat.  Combination arc fault circuit interrupter breakers provide protection.  The National Electrical Code® requires these breakers to be installed in all new homes.
• Surge protection is necessary to protect sensitive electronic devices such as computers, televisions, dvd players, audio equipment, and gaming systems which are susceptible to the damaging effects of surges.
