With the cold winter weather now here, we're all rushing to turn on our recycled air conditioners, electric, oil and gas heaters because we are cold. 

Prepare your home for winter! Keep the heat in and the cold out. Become more 'energy smart' and reduce the excessive amount of electricity needed to heat your home.  Become more aware of what you can easily do... to keep warmer and safer during the winter months.

• Turn off lights in rooms that are not in use
• Turn on air conditioners only when needed
• Install a Clipsal Safety Switch for safety of your family. Remember Safety Switches can save lives
• Do not overload your electrical fuses and circuit breakers with heaters. Install additional power circuits for  heating
• Install Clipsal Smoke Detectors Alarms to know you and your family are safe if there is an accidential fire inside the home.  Make sure you select the correct dectector for the room you need one for- as some detectors go off when toast is cooking.

Issue No. 2 - June 2009

Does your home have smoke detectors mounted in the correct posiiton on the the ceilings of your home - near the kichen, in the hallways, corridors, and sleeping areas.

• FACT - Did you know that 144 deaths have occur in house fires over a 5 year period. One third to a half of those fatalities may have been prevented if the homes had a working smoke detector.

Learn more about smoke detectors and why they are so important to be installed correctly in your home this winter.

A number of heaters are switched on, sometimes in different rooms of the house. No one is watching whether clothing or furnishings are hanging too close to the heaters. Simple accidents happen and sometimes they are not caused by an electrical fault. Fires can be easily started and most of the time, fires start when we are asleep in our beds.

Install a couple of Clipsal smoke detectors. You will have peace of mind and the certainty that you and your family are safe and protected when you go to sleep at night.

Ask Flash Electrical Contractors about battery or electric detectors that can be individually installed or integrated to your existing C-Bus system - programming can be done to allow nominated lights to turn on in case of a smoke alarm. This will give you the safety in allowing to exit the home safely.
