Topic: Electrical Safety and Hazard FAQs

Each year many Americans are injured in and around their homes. Unsafe conditions such as overloaded circuits and damaged insulation as well as the misuse of extension cords and electrical products create fire hazards and may result in electrocutions.

Take a few minutes to look for and correct electrical safe hazards in your home. It does not take too long to check the insulation on a cord, move an appliance away from water, check for correct wattage light bulbs or install a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Invest your time. It could prevent an electrical safety hazard and save lives.

Re: Electrical Safety and Hazard FAQs

If I hire an electrical inspector and he/she finds something wrong, are they obligated to report it to the city? I intend to make all the suggested repairs, but I don't want the city to be breathing down my neck for code violations.
