According to the U.S. Fire Administration, electrical fires account for roughly 7% of all residential fires in the country. Research shows that faulty wiring is the leading cause of electrical fires in most homes. When it comes to electrical fires, you cannot afford to be lackadaisical. If your home is more than two decades old, the likelihood of having faulty wiring is high. Rodents, such as rats or squirrels, can find their way into spaces with electrical wires and chew on electrical cords, creating a risk for fire. On the other hand, overloading an older electrical system with modern electrical devices can prove to be too overwhelming, leading to damages on your wiring, appliances, and even breaker box. Holiday seasons are also associated with electrical house fires resulting from overloaded or frayed extension cords.
