Outdated wiring as safety hazard that often gets put off by homeowners do to expenses despite the danger that old wiring brings. Newer appliances and electronics require updated standards that older homes simply don’t have.
According to The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA):
Electrical failures or malfunctions were the second leading cause of U.S. home fires in 2012-2016 (behind fires caused by unattended equipment), accounting for 13% of home structure fires.
Fires involving electrical failures or malfunctions accounted for the highest share of civilian deaths (18%) and direct property damage (20%).
Nearly two of five fires (39%) involving electrical failure or malfunction occurred in the cold weather months from November through February.
Arcing was the heat source in approximately three of five home fires involving an electrical failure or malfunction.
