This Father's Day, skip the tie and coffee mug, and give Dad the gift of peace of mind. It's harder to wrap, but knowing your family won't be one of the thousands who suffer an electrical fire every year is an unparalleled gift.
We sat down with Benfield Electric to talk about their CurrentSAFE Electrical Hazard Detection service and how it can help protect the things you love most, like your Dad. Check out our interview below to learn about this unique service and what it means for homeowners.
What are your featured products this season?
"CurrentSAFE Electrical Hazard Detection."
What can we look forward to from you at the Capital Home Show?
"We will have a display of electrical items that were found to be in our customers' homes that were detected by our inspectors. These items are faulty electrical outlets, light switches, and even electrical wiring that has caught on fire behind the walls, all without having to dismantle damage or cut into the wall."
What inspires your products?
"Their family's safety is the primary concern for most homeowners. CurrentSAFE Electrical Hazard Detection can greatly reduce the risk of electrical fire, identify and eliminate shock hazards, all with a non-destructive method of testing using infrared thermal images, ultrasonic sound detection, circuit tracers, and analyzers."
What is your favorite part of the Capital Home Show?
"Showcasing our products and services while meeting new people."
What advice would you give homeowners?
"Don't become a statistic - there is a house fire in the US every six minutes. The proactive approach of CurrentSAFE could possibly save your family. Remember, your pets can't call 911!"
We hope this helps you get a jump on your Father's Day shopping. Need more ideas? Make sure to watch your inbox for our Father's Day Gift Guide! If you aren't already receiving our community emails, subscribe now. We'll send you timely, valuable info as well as exclusive ticket deals and more.

With the growing excitement of the holiday season it's easy to spend a little more, eat a little more, and do a little more than you had originally planned. Getting into the festivities is great, it's called the most wonderful time of the year for a reason, but it's also important not to lose your head where it matters: you and your family's safety. We've outlined below some simple things to keep in mind this season to help protect yourself and your loved ones.
1. Don't leave candles unattended - This tip might seem incredibly obvious, but the holidays are a time filled with distractions. Between the last minute guests, irritating requests from in-laws, tons of cooking, and more, it's easy to leave your candles alight when you leave the room.
2. Travel smart - If you're going out of town for a few days to visit with friends and family or to escape this horrible cold weather there are some precautions you should take to secure your home. Consider:
3. Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors - When was the last time you tested and changed the batteries on your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors? If you can't remember the last time you did it, do it now! They should be tested about two or three times a year, with the batteries changed as needed.
Expert tip: Did you know that smoke alarms have an expiration date? They last approximately 8 - 10 years, after which point they become far less sensitive to smoke.
4. Shovel the right way - Shoveling your driveway and walkway can be really hard on your body. It's a high intensity workout, done in harsh conditions, at a heightened pace. A frequent cause of cardiac arrests and cardiac episodes in the winter is shoveling. Don't hurt your heart or your body: warm up before you shovel, take breaks as you need them, and shovel frequently as opposed to lifting mountains of snow.
We hope the simple advice above helps to keep you and your family a little safer this season. Are there any other safety tips you think readers should know to help them prepare for the holidays? Let us know below!

2. Travel smart - If you're going out of town for a few days to visit with friends and family or to escape this horrible cold weather there are some precautions you should take to secure your home. Consider:
- Putting your lights (indoor and holiday) on timers to make your home appear occupied.
- Recruiting a friend or neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers; nothing says "no one's home" like a collection of papers and unopened letters.
- Being careful about sharing #TMI. Predators can access your social channels and take advantage of the information you post. So please refrain from tweeting "On the way to #Hawaii! Not back til Dec 30 @ 2pm! #EmptyHouse #KeyUnderMat"
3. Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors - When was the last time you tested and changed the batteries on your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors? If you can't remember the last time you did it, do it now! They should be tested about two or three times a year, with the batteries changed as needed.
