Potential Risks
A handful of electrical issues will raise the risks of a house fire. You’ll find out more about the potential risk below.
Old Wiring – Homes wired during the 1950s often used cloth-insulated wires. A cloth is not a good insulator because it degrades quickly. It will eventually degrade to the point that it is no longer beneficial. Then, the wires will touch and create problems.
Aluminum – Cloth-insulated wires were not used during the 60s and 70s. However, aluminum wiring became very popular. Aluminum wiring is terrible too. It is inexpensive and low-quality. It raises the risk that the system will experience arc faults. If this happens, a fire could easily consume your home.
Circuit Breaker Trips – It is natural for your circuit breaker to trip. However, this shouldn’t happen too often. If it does, you likely have something wrong.
Outlets Overwhelmed – It is pertinent to avoid overloading your outlets. Don’t plug too many cords into a single outlet since this will raises the risks.
