Summer Cord Care 101: Protect Your Cords from Heat and Moisture

Description:
Summer brings heat, humidity, and outdoor fun—but also hidden hazards for your cords. Keep things safe with these quick tips: 1. Use outdoor-rated cords only – they’re built with thicker insulation that resists water, UV, and wear 2. Keep cords dry and elevated – avoid wet grass, puddles, or sprinkler spray to prevent shocks or shorts 3. Plug into GFCI-protected & weatherproof outlets – these outlets trip fast in damp conditions and with “while-in-use” covers keep moisture out 4. Inspect, uncoil and store properly – check for damage regularly, never use coiled cords (they overheat), and unplug by the plug—not the cord—then coil loosely in shade Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy your summer—without sparks! Summer-ready cords = safer, stress-free outdoor fun! Need help inspecting or replacing cords? Call your local electrician today! @ 518-857-5320 Visit: https://houghtalingelectrical.com/
