Check
outlets and extension cords to make sure they aren't overloaded.

electrical cords for damages or fraying and remove any that
may placed under rugs, carpet, etc.

fixtures and lamps. Always purchase 130 volt bulbs, "not
120 volt", if you want to stop changing them so often.
The voltage will be written on the bulb.

breakers installed. If you have any in your home now you need
to test them once a month or after every electrical storm.

detectors and replace the batteries annually.
