Christmas Tree Safety

Like our families,  you probably have a Christmas tree in your home which acts as a center of the activities on Christmas eve or Christmas morning.  Be sure to do a few things to be safe.

Check the electric socket that your tree lights are plugged into, to make sure it is working in good condition and dust free. Be sure to use a timer on your lights so that they don't stay on for 24hrs. 

Additionally, its a good idea to keep your tree away from heating elements. First your tree will last longer and drop fewer needles, and secondly, needles falling onto heating elements could reduce their efficiency.

Add water to the base of your tree to keep it from drying out, this will help to reduce the needle loss again. 

Anyway everyone at Total Systems Services Inc, wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
