Ensuring Code Compliance & Safety Standards in Eagle Mountain and Surrounding Communities
Electrical codes are designed to protect you and your property from electrical hazards. Wirewise Electric is committed to ensuring that your home’s electrical system meets all local and national safety standards. Our expert electricians conduct comprehensive inspections to identify and rectify any code violations, ensuring your home remains safe and compliant.
Some Common Electric Code Violation Guidelines Include:
- Improper Grounding:
- All electrical systems must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock and fire hazards. Improper grounding is a common violation that can compromise safety.
- Overloaded Circuits:
- Circuits should not be overloaded with too many devices, as this can cause overheating and potential fires. Proper circuit design and load distribution are essential.
- Inadequate Circuit Breaker Protection:
- Circuit breakers must be correctly sized and installed to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. Inadequate protection can lead to dangerous situations.
- Incorrectly Installed Wiring:
- Wiring must be installed according to code specifications, including proper wire gauge, connections, and support. Incorrect installations can lead to failures and hazards.
- Lack of GFCI Outlets:
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in areas with water exposure, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces, to prevent electrical shock.
- Improper Use of Extension Cords:
- Extension cords should not be used as a permanent wiring solution. Permanent wiring must be installed to meet electrical codes and safety standards.
