Electrical appliances to unplug first during a storm
As soon as the first weather alerts or the slightest rumbling sound appear, take a few minutes to protect your home by unplugging the most exposed devices:
Televisions(most important), speakers, home cinema
Computers, tablets, phones charging
Oven, microwave, induction hob
Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher
Electric kettles, coffee makers, electric water heater
These devices are particularly susceptible to power surges. If you have outdoor installations powered by electricity (billboards, garden lighting, fountains), remember to also unplug their power.
If you have to leave your home before a storm, maintain a good habit: turn off and unplug everything that isn’t essential. This will save you a lot of problems when you return.
