Gifts and Tips for the Tech-Loving Dad in Your Life

Father’s Day is just around the corner! It’s the perfect time to celebrate the dad who loves his gadgets, his smart home, and the guy who always have the right tool for the job. This year, we’re shining a light on practical and thoughtful gifts, along with essential tips to ensure your tech-loving dad’s world remains powered up safely.

Gifts That Spark Safety and Convenience:

Forget the tie or the grilling spatula this year. Consider these electrically smart gifts:

  • Smart Surge Protector with USB Ports: Give your dad a smart surge protector with USB charging ports for added convenience! This will not only protect electronics but can also keep everything organize. We recommend models with indicator lights to confirm they are working correctly.
  • Portable Power Station: A perfect give if your dad loves comping, but it’s also a good gift to be prepared for power outages. The best type are the battery-powered units that can charge devices, power small appliances, and emergency light.
  • Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring: Is your dad conscious or even just curious about how much energy he consumes? Smart plugs offer energy monitoring features to help monitor the power his gadgets are using.
  • Under-Cabinet LED Lighting: Upgrade your dad’s space with improved lighting! Their workspaces are usually inside dimly lit spaces in our homes. Adding energy-efficient LED lighting improves visibility and safety

Safety Tips for Every Tech-Savvy Dad (and Everyone Else!):

While gifts are great, knowledge is power. Share these vital electrical safety tips with your dad:

  • Never Overload Outlets
  • Inspect Cords and Plugs Regularly
  • Keep Electronics Away from Water
  • Unplug Appliances When Not in Use
  • Install and Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
  • Know Your Home’s Electrical Panel
  • Don’t DIY Electrical Repairs Unless You’re Qualified
