What should Da Nang residents do to ensure electrical safety in their homes during the hot season?

Ms. Lan said that saving electricity not only reduces costs but also helps the family's electrical system operate safely and stably.

To ensure electrical safety in the family during the hot season, people need to check the electrical system in the house and regularly maintain electrical equipment. Sockets, wires, and electrical panels that have been used for a long time may age, leak electricity, or no longer be able to cope with the increased electricity consumption during the hot season. In particular, old, damaged or substandard wires can cause electrical short circuits, leading to fires and explosions. Therefore, if you detect any abnormal signs in electrical equipment, you should immediately replace or repair it.

According to research, a fairly popular electrical safety solution in the home today is to use an automatic circuit breaker. This device has the ability to cut off the power when it detects a leakage or overload. Installing an automatic circuit breaker helps prevent the risk of fire and explosion and protects the safety of electrical equipment in the home.

Discussing electrical safety in the family, Mr. Trung (Hoa Vang district, Da Nang city) raised awareness of users and shared: “In my house, everyone from young to old has the habit of turning off electrical devices when not in use. This not only saves electricity but also reduces the risk of electrical accidents.”

In the summer, cooling devices such as air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators are often used continuously. If not operated properly, the device may be overloaded, generate high heat or cause electrical leakage. Therefore, people should not use too many electrical devices at the same time or plug them into the same outlet; do not use cheap, unknown-origin electrical outlets that can easily cause fire or explosion; turn off electrical devices when not in use, especially at night or when leaving the house. Air conditioners should be set at 27 degrees Celsius or higher, combined with fans to save electricity and reduce the load on the device. Before the hot season, people should clean fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. so that these devices operate effectively and do not consume much electricity.

“In the hot season, saving electricity not only helps my family reduce electricity costs but also helps the family's electrical system operate stably, avoiding overload and short circuits. We prioritize using equipment with energy-saving labels, taking advantage of natural light and wind, and limiting the use of lights, fans, and air conditioners when not necessary,” said Ms. Lan (Cam Le district, Da Nang city).

To ensure electrical safety in the family during the hot season, Mr. Nguyen Thai Hung - Head of Safety Department (PC Da Nang) recommends that people need to regularly monitor the family's meter index via the EVNCPC CSKH app to have a reasonable electricity usage plan; turn off electrical equipment when not in use; regularly clean and maintain electrical equipment to operate stably and economically; choose to buy electrical equipment with energy-saving labels and with a capacity suitable for usage needs. In particular, when there are unusual signs or need advice on electricity, electricity customers in Da Nang city should call the hotline number 19001909 for timely support.

It can be said that the hot season always has many potential risks regarding electrical safety due to the high demand for electricity. In addition to promoting the propaganda of electrical safety among the people of PC Da Nang in particular and the Electricity industry in general, to ensure safety for themselves and their families, each person needs to raise awareness, comply with the principles of safe, economical and effective use of electricity.
