Do you realize that one of the biggest fire dangers for your home could be right inside your walls? Many homes are consumed by needless electrical fires. One key factor to avoiding fire danger is a properly functioning electrical system.

Electrical fire danger is posed by the following:
- Outdated Wiring – Most homes constructed before 1950 were generally wired with cloth-insulated wires. As the insulation degrades and falls away from the wire, it allows the exposed wire to arc and start an electrical fire. If you live in an old home, an electrical home safety inspection is necessary to assess the state of your wiring.
- Aluminum Wiring – During the 60’s and 70’s, a trend of using inexpensive, low quality aluminum wiring increased the fire danger for many residences. Aluminum wiring is highly prone to arc faults and starting a fire that could quickly consume your home.
- Frequently Tripped Circuit Breakers – Tripped breakers are a positive sign that your electrical system’s safety features are working. It is also a clear sign that you’re placing undue strain on the system. A home safety inspection will determine if newly added circuits can alleviate the problem.
- Overloaded Outlets – If extension cords are just part of your everyday electrical routine, then you are due for an electrical upgrade. When your current system isn’t delivering to your specifications and repeated use of extension cords are used, this is a recipe for a potential electrical fire.
