As 2024 comes to a close, we at Arman Electric want to extend our warmest wishes to all our customers, neighbors, and friends here in Vero Beach and the surrounding Treasure Coast. This year has been incredible, and we’re so grateful for your trust and support in keeping your homes and businesses powered safely and efficiently.
The holiday season is a magical time, but it also comes with unique electrical challenges. Here are a few quick tips to keep your home safe, festive, and ready for all your holiday celebrations:
1. Be Smart with Holiday Lights
- Use LED holiday lights—they’re more energy-efficient, produce less heat, and lower your power bill.
- Make sure all lights and extension cords are rated for outdoor use if you’re decorating the exterior of your home.
- Always use timers or smart plugs to automatically turn off your decorations overnight or when you’re away.
2. Avoid Overloading Circuits
Here in Vero Beach, many homes were built before today’s technology-heavy lifestyle, meaning older electrical systems can get overwhelmed.
- Spread your decorations across multiple outlets, and avoid daisy-chaining multiple extension cords or surge protectors.
- If your breakers are frequently tripping, it might be time for an electrical panel upgrade—give us a call and we’ll inspect it for you!
3. Prepare for Florida’s Winter Weather
While we don’t deal with snow in Vero Beach, winter storms can still bring wind and power outages.
- Consider installing a whole-home generator to keep your holiday plans on track, no matter what the weather throws your way. (Ask us about our generator specials!)
- Inspect outdoor outlets and weatherproof covers to protect them from rain and salty air.
4. Test Your Smoke Detectors
With all the cooking, candles, and extra activity during the holidays, it’s a good idea to double-check that your smoke detectors are in working order. Replace any old batteries and test the alarms before your next gathering.
From our family to yours, we wish you a joyful, safe, and electrifying holiday season! Whether you’re lighting up your home for the holidays or need expert advice on keeping your electrical systems running smoothly, Arman Electric is here to help.
