Electrical appliances to unplug first during a storm
As soon as the first weather alerts or the slightest rumbling sound appear, take a few minutes to protect your home by unplugging the most exposed devices:
- Televisions, speakers, home cinema
- Computers, tablets, phones charging
- Oven, microwave, induction hob
- Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher
- Electric kettles, coffee makers, electric water heaters
These devices are particularly sensitive to power surges. If you have outdoor installations powered by electricity (billboards, garden lighting, fountains), remember to also turn off their power.
If you have to leave your home before a storm, adopt a good habit: turn off and unplug everything that isn’t essential. This will save you a lot of trouble when you return.
