Electrical faults are one of the leaders of residential fires. Most of these faults are caused by problems we could never see coming, such as loose or deteriorating connections. In 2006, the National Electric Code mandated that homes need to use Arc Fault breakers, which most homes built prior to 2006 do not have. That is why your Electrical Services provider in Chevy Chase MD should offer safety and performance evaluations.
Many experts in the electrical communities believe this expanded requirement will have a dramatic positive impact on homeowner safety and will reduce the number of lives lost and injuries that occur in home electrical fires. While functioning smoke alarms, fire extinguishers and emergency safety ladders increase a family's chances of escaping injury from an electrical fire, Arc Fault breakers can prevent fires from occurring in the first place.
