Tips to prevent electrical fires

[jamie]

Last week, I met my friend who is a licensed electrician from Toronto. He told me the importance of keeping the home electrically safe. If the wiring electrical system is not updated, there are chances of an electric fire. Your house is prone to an electrical fire due to the following reasons:
1. Faulty outlets, appliances
Most electrical fires are caused by faulty electrical outlets and outdated appliances. Other fires are started by faults in appliance cords, receptacles and switches. Running cords under rugs is another cause of electrical fires.
2. Light fixtures
Light fixtures, lamps and light bulbs are another common reason for electrical fires. Installing a bulb with a wattage that is too high for the lamps and light fixtures is a leading cause of electrical fires.
3. Extension cords
Misuse of extension cords is another electrical fire cause. Appliances should be plugged directly into the outlet and not plugged into an extension cord for any length of time. 4. Space heaters
Coil space heaters are especially dangerous in this regard because the coils become so hot they will almost instantaneously ignite any nearby flammable surface.
5. Wiring
Outdated wiring often causes electrical fires. Old wiring may not have the wiring capacity to handle the increased amounts of electrical appliances in today’s average home. I hope this is informative. Thank you
