💡 Halifax Electrical Safety Tips:

  • 80% Rule: Keep continuous loads under 80% of breaker capacity (12 amps on 15-amp circuit)
  • Coastal Corrosion: Halifax's salt air requires more frequent electrical inspections
  • Extension Cords: Never use as permanent solutions - add proper outlets instead
  • GFCI Protection: Essential in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in Halifax humidity
