🔥DANGER🔥
Recently during a LED installation in a clients home, our electrician discovered multiple light fixtures that were improperly spliced, as seen in the picture. Luckily, we discovered the issue and were able to remediate it by installing the proper junction boxes with covers. Why is important? Let's look at some numbers from the U.S. Fire Administration:
The 2022 national estimates for residential building electrical malfunction fires and losses show that there were:
26,100 fires.
185 deaths.
850 injuries.
$1,492,400,000 in dollar loss.
The National Electrical Code is the minimum safety standard that electricians must meet. This installation was below even the minimum safety standard, putting the homeowners at risk.
