⚡ Safety Check: Test Your GFCI Outlets Monthly! ⚡
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are your first line of defense against electric shock in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. Make it a habit to press the “Test” button and then “Reset” on your GFCI outlets every month to ensure they’re working properly. A small check can make a big difference in home safety! #HomeSafety #ElectricalTips #GFCI #ESCON

⚡ Low Voltage vs. High Voltage – What’s the Difference? ⚡
Low Voltage Systems: Data, security, and audio/video wiring. They use less power and are mainly for communications or control.
High Voltage Systems: Power outlets, lighting, and appliances. They deliver the energy needed to run your home or business.
Knowing the difference keeps your systems safe and efficient! #ElectricalTips #HomeSafety #LowVoltage #HighVoltage #ESCOsolutions
