Safety And Compliance
Electrical fires occur for a number of reasons, but most commonly because something has gone wrong with either your wiring or an appliance. Electrical fires caused by faulty wiring usually result from damage to insulation that allows wires to come into contact with each other or another material that conducts electricity, this can happen because of fraying, chafing, corrosion or simply old age.
Electrical fires caused by faulty appliances are due to either internal breakdowns in the appliance’s heating element or electrical components which become overloaded and overheat causing a fire hazard.
