4. Coffee Makers
Older models with warming plates may overheat if forgotten and left on, creating a potential fire risk.
5. Microwaves (Especially Older Units)
Older microwaves can suffer from internal component issues—like insulation wear or magnetron failure—which may cause sparking or electrical arcing.
Bonus Tip: Save on Bills by Unplugging Idle Devices
Besides improving fire safety, unplugging small kitchen appliances when they’re not in use can also help reduce your electricity bill.
Many of these gadgets continue using power even when off, quietly adding to your energy costs. Making this a nightly habit supports both home safety and energy efficiency.
Final Thoughts: Protect Your Home with Smarter Habits
As awareness grows around electrical fire prevention, one of the simplest steps you can take is unplugging high-risk appliances like air fryers and toaster ovens before bed.
Add others like coffee makers and electric kettles to your routine for extra peace of mind.
For enhanced protection, consider using smart plugs with automatic shut-off timers, investing in surge protectors, and checking that your home insurance includes coverage for electrical-related fires.
