The solutions presented are ideal for seniors but are equally valuable to improve safety in any home. In the second video, “How to Make Your Older Home Safer,” Ms. Rhodes-Jacobson discusses a number of important electrical considerations to be aware of when installing new devices in older homes. These include proper outlet replacement, GFCI and AFCI protection, old wiring and the need to be aware that older homes may have aluminum wiring which requires devices clearly marked as CO/ALR for safety reasons.
- “Test Your Residential Electrical Safety Knowledge” video: This video presents seven questions the do-it-yourself installer should be able to correctly answer in order to safety perform home electrical work. Questions range from the basic safeguard of turning off the power on the circuit when working to properly replacing outlets.
