What started as a routine job became an important safety intervention. ⚠️

During a recent service visit for a gas line replacement, our mobile service mechanic Greg, was performing his standard pre-relight safety checks when he discovered the homeowner's flue pipe was severely cracked — a hidden hazard that could have led to serious consequences if left undetected.

Greg immediately notified the homeowner, escalated the issue for further inspection and made sure the proper safety protocols were followed. He also shared the importance of working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.

Keeping our customers safe begins with attention to detail. We're grateful for employees like Greg who bring focus, skill and care to every job, every day.

Summer is full of reasons to celebrate — from graduations and pool parties to backyard BBQs and more. But before the fun begins, keep safety in mind when decorating outdoors.

Mylar balloons may look harmless, but if they come into contact with power lines, they can quickly put an end to your party.

🎈 Keep balloons tied down or weighted
🎈 Never release balloons outdoors
🎈 If a balloon gets caught in a power line, don't try to retrieve it yourself. Call us ASAP at 1-800-436-PSEG (7734)

⛈️Tonight's fast moving thunderstorms brought strong winds and heavy rain that caused tree limbs to break and bring down power lines.
