CTSI recommends extreme caution in determining how and where small appliances and personal heaters are used in county facilities. These items can cause fires by overloading a facility’s electrical system. We recommend members enlist the help and guidance of a facilities professional or licensed electrician and suggest the following steps be used as a starting point in managing this considerable risk:
Many counties operate in buildings that were wired before the advent of computers, microwaves, and other power-hungry modern devices. Counties should ensure that small appliances have up-to-date safety features and should be unplugged overnight and on weekends. If you have any doubts, it is best to have a professional electrician perform this calculation for commercial buildings. For more information, contact CTSI at 303 861 0507.
