Because most of your heating and cooling equipment depend on electricity to work, it’s vital that you keep your home and HVAC system from electrical hazards. Dealing with electrical appliances needs cautious steps to minimize the possibility of electrocution or shock.
Electrical Safety Tips
Keep your family safe from the risk of injuries, fires, and even death with these electrical safety tips from A-TEMP.
- Schedule an Expert HVAC Maintenance
Have you had your heating and cooling system inspected? A regular HVAC maintenance keeps your system working proficiently and safely throughout the year. With a professional system inspection and tune-up, you can prevent all possibilities of unexpected breakdown and malfunction.
Our electrical specialists at A-TEMP perform a comprehensive inspection of your heating and cooling components including the following:
- Electrical wirings
- Burnt, pitted contactors
- Exposed wirings

- Educate Your Children About HVAC and Electrical Safety
Discuss with the young ones at home on how to properly behave and act around your HVAC and electrical equipment. Avoid HVAC and electrical dangers on children with these tips.
- Do a basic inspection of switches, plugs, electrical cords and outlets. Check for exposed or burnt wires. Report any problem to your electrician immediately.
- Remove extension cords or wires in high traffic areas like carpets and doorways.
- Install tamper-proof receptacle (TRRs) on outlets. Remind your kids not to go near any outlets or electrical plugs in any situations.
- Put cords and electrical devices/equipment out of reach of children. Tuck all cords neatly so they won’t mess up with your kids.
- Avoid overloading of outlets.
- Make and Exercise an Emergency Escape or Exit Plan
Accidents often happen when least expected which is why you need to make an emergency escape plan in the family. When a fire occurs, everyone in the family will easily know how to act and where to go. Follow these tips for creating your emergency evacuation idea.
- Plan an escape route by drawing a map of the house consisting of the windows, doors and all exits.

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical came recommended from a friend who is a current inspector. I've used them for years for furnace and AC maintenance. Their customer service is excellent—helpful, friendly, and persistent in scheduling my maintenance. I appreciate that they've never pushed to replace my old furnace but instead helped me decide when to repair or replace without being pushy about sales. Finding trustworthy repair folks is hard, and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.
A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical goes above and beyond to take care of their customers. I've been a customer for years and am impressed with the technicians and office staff. The fact that this is a family business is also a plus. Thank you.
A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical did a wonderful job. They were on time, wore shoe coverings, and worked diligently. They replaced our air filter and an electrical part under warranty, explaining everything clearly. The work was clean and professional, and the team was congenial and pleasant.
Everyone we’ve dealt with has been polite, positive, and very courteous. A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical quickly replaced our furnace during the coldest part of a snowy winter. Other companies couldn’t get out for 1-2 weeks, but A-TEMP assessed it the same day and replaced it in 2 days. Can’t say enough great things about this company!
