Don’t Leave These 3 Kitchen Gadgets On Overnight!

Ever run your dishwasher or tumble dryer while you sleep? Turns out, that’s a major no-no! Fire experts say only fridges and freezers are safe to leave on all night. Tumble dryers, dishwashers, and even slow cookers can overheat or malfunction, and you won’t be awake to catch the warning signs. It’s not worth the risk—save those chores for when you’re around! #News #HomeSafety #KitchenTips

Why Are We Still Using Gas Stoves?!

Turns out, gas stoves are way more dangerous than most of us realize. Not only do they leak nasty stuff like carbon monoxide and benzene into our homes (even when they’re off!), but they’re also super inefficient and linked to health issues like asthma and headaches. Experts say switching to induction stoves can cut indoor pollution by over 50%, cook faster, and are way safer for kids. Even top chefs are making the switch. Would you ditch your gas stove for a healthier home? #Home #GasStove #HomeSafety

Should I be worried about this ceiling crack? 🤯

I live in an older 3-story wood frame building, and I’ve noticed the popcorn ceiling in the hallway is starting to crack more and more. A new horizontal crack just showed up recently. Honestly, this looks awful... Should I call someone or maybe even move out? 😦😦😦 #HomeMaintenance #CeilingCracks #HomeSafety #ApartmentLiving

Our EV charger almost burnt down the house. It was a dangerous 'Fix'

We woke up last night because the alarm on our electric car was going off. When we checked the garage, the charger box was so hot you could not even touch it. We had to wait almost an hour just to look at the damage. It was seriously scary. We have had the EV for about six months. Right after the first electrician installed the charger, the fuse kept blowing. He came back out and told us he solved it by putting in a higher-amp fuse. He promised we would be fine and that was four months ago. We are absolutely calling a different electrician to fix this entire mess. But I'm still really hoping someone here knows electrical safety. I need to know if the first guy steered us completely wrong by just raising the fuse amperage, or if something else entirely went sideways here. #EVCharging #ElectricianFail #HomeSafety #ElectricalSafety #ElectricVehicles #NeedAdvice
