• Inadequate and overburdened electrical systems.
• Thermally reinsulated walls and ceilings burying wiring.
• Defeated or compromised over current protection.
• Worn-out wiring devices not being replaced.
• Poorly done electrical repairs.
• Economic considerations resulting in unsafe installations.

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)

• Install GFCI receptacles to keep your family safe from electrical hazards.

• GFCI receptacles are required in kitchens and bathrooms according to electrical code.

• GFCI receptacles are designed to provide protection against electrical shock from ground faults.

• GFCI receptacles must be checked regularly (monthly).

• AFCI are electrical safety devices designed to prevent fires caused by dangerous electrical arcs.

• AFCI circuit breakers should be installed by certified electrician as sometimes you may need to correct existing wiring.

• AFCI circuit breakers should be tested monthly to ensure functionality and protection from fires initiated by arcing faults.

• AFCI are now required by electrical code in bedrooms for all new construction - shouldn't your home be just as safe?

• AFCI protection increases safety  in older homes with aging and deteriorating wiring systems.

Tamper Resistant Outlets

• Install tamper resistant outlets to protect your children and grandchildren from the dangers of electrical outlets.

• Once installed, tamper resistant receptacles are always there: they’re reliable, automatic, and permanent.

• National Electrical Code requires that tamper-resistant receptacles be installed in children occupied areas such as day care centers, children's play areas, elementary and nursery schools where children may be at risk. Talk to your child care providers to make sure your child is always safe.

• A surge protector, also known as a surge suppressor, is a product designed to protect your electrical devices from the abuse of frequent electrical surges.

• An entire house surge suppressor offers more protection than individual power strips when it comes to safeguarding your valuable electronics.

• Temporary power surges can damage electronic components of larger appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, and security alarms in addition to electrical equipment like computers and televisions. Many people assume that power surges are caused mainly by lightning strikes, but 80 percent are generated from within the home. Common sources of power surges include appliances such as air conditioners, sump pumps, and power tools.
