Our lives literally depend on the safe use of electricity
in our homes, and often safety hazards can go unnoticed
or unseen. Even what homeowners might think of as a
"minor" problem can lead to a devastating fire. In fact,
electricity is a leading cause of home fires in the U.S.
Each year fires that start in electrical systems or
lighting equipment
* damage more than 24, 000 homes
* kill 320 people
* injure 830 more
In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission
estimates that 50 people die every year from accidental
electrocutions involving residential wiring, panel boards,
circuit breakers, and outlets. Another 40 electrocutions
each year involve household appliances that are connected
to the wiring of homes.
By making sure you have a thorough electrical inspection
completed by a qualified electrician before buying,
selling, or remodeling a home, you can help ensure your
home's electrical system operates at the highest level of
safety possible.
