The holidays are officially here — and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to make sure your home is ready for family, friends, and festive gatherings. At All Spark Electric, Inc., we’re grateful for our wonderful clients and community, and we want to help make your holiday season as safe, warm, and stress-free as possible.
Whether you’re hosting a big meal, welcoming overnight guests, or planning to decorate, a little electrical preparation goes a long way.
Thanksgiving Day Electrical Checklist
Before the cooking chaos begins, take a few minutes to make sure your home is set for a smooth hosting day.
Here are a few smart ways to prepare:
Avoid overloading outlets with multiple kitchen appliances running at once.
Use power strips with built-in surge protection for extra lighting and décor.
Make sure extension cords are indoor-rated and placed safely away from foot traffic.
Test GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms before hosting day.
A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your home safe while you focus on what matters most — spending time with family and friends.
Preparing for Holiday Gatherings
As temperatures drop and holiday festivities ramp up, your electrical system begins working overtime. From space heaters to decorative lights, increased demand can expose issues you may not notice during other times of the year.
Why Seasonal Electrical Check-Ups Matter
Colder months often bring:
Higher overall energy use
Space heaters
Holiday lighting displays
More time spent indoors
That’s why fall is the perfect time to give your home’s electrical system a little extra attention.
A seasonal check-up can help:
Identify outdated wiring before it becomes a hazard
Prevent tripped breakers during peak holiday use
Improve energy efficiency
Ensure panels and circuits can handle increased demand
Scheduling a preventative electrical inspection before guests arrive can help you avoid unexpected interruptions when your home is full of holiday cheer.
Electrical Quick Tips
Keep your home safe and running efficiently with these simple reminders:
Never plug space heaters into extension cords.
Replace cracked or loose outlets immediately.
Use LED holiday lights to reduce heat output and save energy.
Label your electrical panel for quick reference during emergencies.
Unplug decorative lights before going to bed or leaving the house.
