With temperatures rising across Lincolnshire, many residents in Woodhall Spa, Boston, and Skegness are reaching for fans and air conditioning. While great for comfort, these appliances can strain your electrics if not installed or used correctly.
Safe Cooling Options for Your Home
- Electric Fans — Best when air temperature is below 35°C. Never aim directly at the body for long periods.
- Portable Air Conditioners — These need dedicated sockets to avoid overloads.
- Fixed Air Conditioning Systems — Professional installation ensures efficiency and safety.
Key Safety Rules This Summer
- Never overload sockets or use extension leads for high-power cooling units.
- Keep appliances away from water (especially important in bathrooms or near garden sprinklers).
- Test RCDs monthly on circuits supplying cooling equipment.
- Have smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors checked and working.
