I want to make sure I do everything possible to avoid electric shock. I am shutting off the power source and the circuit breaker downstairs in my fuse box. I read someplace that appliances can "store" electricity. How can I make sure I don't get shocked? Should I buy a volt meter or something to absorb the electricity at my local hardware store? Please advise.

Fixit,
If in doubt ask, good Idea,
Once you've shut off the breaker, or unplugged the power cord you'll be safe,
Not all products store electricity, TV's, Microwaves, units with capacitors, Do.
So you'll be safe,with the power off.
If you have a problem or question, drop us a line, we're here to help.
Good Luck,
