2. “Think Before You Act!”
Re-routing wires or installing a satellite dish isn’t
something most homeowners do every day. Thus, it’s
important that someone with little electrical
experience makes sure to review a list of safety
precautions first.
Knowledge is power protection- the more you know,
the more likely you’ll be to act safely.
Here are a few tips from Your Insurance Problem
Solvers and Risk Managers.

Remember, power lines and
cables can be dangerous! You
should never pursue an

comfortable with. Your safety is
always the number one priority.
Use common sense, and make

investment with insurance.
