Bray Electrical Issues Holiday Safety Alert as Winter Electrical Surges Rise Across Alpharetta

Bray Electrical urges Alpharetta homeowners to inspect panels, outlets, and holiday lighting setups as winter power surges increase in December.

ALPHARETTA, GA, UNITED STATES, December 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With holiday lighting, electric décor, space heaters, and weather-related outages putting increased strain on home electrical systems, Bray Electrical is issuing a December safety advisory urging Alpharetta residents to prepare their homes for heightened winter electrical demand. The company reports a seasonal spike in service calls tied to overloaded circuits, outdated panels, and faulty holiday wiring—issues that can pose serious fire and safety risks.

“December is consistently the month when we see preventable electrical issues become real emergencies,” said the spokesperson for Bray Electrical. “Between holiday decorations, kitchen appliances running nonstop, and colder temperatures prompting the use of heaters, electrical systems work harder than any other time of year. A simple inspection now can prevent costly or dangerous problems later.”

Winter Surge Season Increases Risk for Homeowners

Local electrician Alpharetta technicians say the most common winter electrical failures include:

Tripped breakers caused by overloaded holiday lighting

Melted wiring and damaged outlets from aging infrastructure

Panel issues due to increased seasonal power usage

Space heater overloads on improperly rated circuits

Generator misconfigurations during storm-related outages

These problems tend to escalate between December and February as temperatures drop and homes rely more heavily on heat, décor, and cooking appliances.

To address this, Bray Electrical is encouraging residents to schedule year-end electrical checks, particularly if their home is more than 20 years old or if circuits repeatedly trip during holiday gatherings.

Expanded December Availability for Electrical Safety Inspections

To support homeowners preparing for holiday events and family gatherings, the company is expanding its December scheduling capacity for:

Panel and breaker inspections

Holiday lighting electrical load evaluations

Outlet and wiring safety checks

Generator readiness and safety assessments

Level 2 EV charger circuit evaluations

Commercial property holiday surge assessments

These services are part of the company’s ongoing effort to minimize seasonal electrical hazards and ensure local families stay safe throughout the winter.

Ensure generators are installed and grounded properly

Inspect older lighting for frayed or damaged wiring

“These simple precautions go a long way in preventing holiday emergencies,” the spokesperson added. “Electrical issues don’t just disrupt gatherings—they can become dangerously costly. Our goal is to help Alpharetta families enjoy a safe and stress-free holiday season.”
