Electrical cords and holiday lights can cause fire hazards when damaged or improperly installed. Prime Electrical Service warns its customers to use caution this holiday season to prevent unnecessary property damage.

Montgomery, Pennsylvania – November, 2015 – Prime Electrical Service, a residential electrical company based out of King of Prussia, PA, urges its customers to use caution after Thanksgiving when installing their outdoor holiday lighting to help reduce the risk of fire hazards.

Prime Electrical wants to remind their customers to inspect all decorative lighting before displaying it this holiday season. Customers can also contact Prime Electrical to set up a professional inspection of their holiday lights and in house wiring.

As winter closes in, the nights are getting longer and as a result, families are coming home to darkened yards. While the days may be getting shorter, you do not have to come home to a dark and unwelcoming house. Professionally installed perimeter lighting offers a solution to stumbling around in the dark while helping to keep your family safe.

When considering which type of residential lighting you should use around your home, the first thing you need to keep in mind is the location of the lights, and the reasons you want to have the perimeter lighting installed. Homeowners often add outdoor lighting to their landscaping to:

• Prevent injury to family and guests
• Increase security against burglars and wildlife.
• Add to the visual appeal of the landscape and buildings.
