In May, we recognize National Electrical Safety Month to raise awareness about reducing electrically related fires, injuries and fatalities. Here are a few important safety tips to keep in mind:

• Never use electrical equipment near water.
• Check all light bulbs to ensure the wattage is safe and suitable for the fixture.
• Extension cords are for temporary use only; never run them under rugs, through walls or across doorways.
• Do not plug too many devices into a single outlet or power strip.

It's also National Barbecue Month, so what a great excuse to fire up the grill. Utilizing the grill isn't just great for flavor--it can also help you save energy. Cooking outdoors keeps extra heat out of the kitchen.
