Several problems can increase the risks involved. Below, you will learn more about the electrical faults that increase the risk.
Old Wiring – You may have cloth-insulated wires in your home. This type of wiring was very popular before the 1950s. It is a problem because cloth is not a good insulator. Your home’s cloth-insulated wiring needs replaced as soon as possible.
Tripped Circuit Breakers – When your breaker trips, it means your system was overloaded. You can guarantee that the system is working. However, frequent circuit breaker trips are a bad sign. You need to figure out what is causing this problem and remedy it as soon as possible.
Outlet Overloading – Using too many extension cords on one outlet is dangerous. Being careless with outlets will lead to an increased risk of an electrical fire.
Aluminum Wires – You need to replace aluminum wires immediately. Aluminum will shrink and expand depending on the surrounding temperature. The change can break the connection and lead to a fire.
