Do not mess with your fuse box or use improper sized fuses.
Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords and do not run extension cords under rugs.
Do not touch electrical devices when your hands are wet or when standing in water.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician and the work should meet local building codes and be inspected by local building officials.
If you feel a "zap" when touching an appliance, unplug it immediately and have it repaired.
Keep halogen lights away from any flammable material and low ceiling areas. Do not leave halogen lights on when you leave your home.
