Congratulations on your new home. To keep your electrical system in good condition, it's recommended to check your circuit breaker or fuse box every 6 months to ensure everything is working properly.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy enough. What else can I do to prevent electrical issues?<|im_end|>

Another good idea is to avoid overloading your outlets and to replace any damaged or worn-out cords and plugs. You should also consider hiring a licensed electrician to inspect your electrical system every 5-10 years.<|im_end|>
