Due to the fact that electricity is such a constant part of our daily lives, it is easy to take it for granted. It feels comparable to the sun shining over our heads or the moon coming out at night. Many tend to adopt the same attitude towards electricity as they do towards the sun and moon, It will take care of itself. After all who ever heard of a sun technician, But having that sort of attitude to electricity can be dangerous, even fatal. Every year, thousands of people are fatally injured and suffer damage worth billions because of a lack of electrical safety knowledge. According to Electrical Safety Foundation International, electrical outlets and receptacles alone account for more than5,300 home fires, over 100 injuries and at least 40 deaths every single year. The sun may take care of itself, but the electrical wiring in your home wont. If you want to ensure that you get to enjoy the perks of electricity in a safe home, you have to see that it is properly maintained. How do you go about it, We thought you would never ask. This ultimate guide to conducting and passing your electrical safety inspection shows you  everything you need to know about getting that pass mark. What is the point of an electrical safety inspection anyway, Having an electrical safety inspection done on your home might seem like a bother but try not to see it that way, Ensuring that the electrical safety inspection is conducted periodically and properly is extremely vital for your family and property. Here are some reasons why, Protect your property Electrical surges are a common phenomenon in much of the United States. They cannot only ruin your appliances but also create short circuits in your house, leading to fire that can cause severe property damage. The US Fire Administration reported that property owners in the US suffered more than 23 billion  dollar in property damage from fires in 2017. The majority of the fires were caused by cooking, electrical malfunction and faulty appliances. A simple 2 hour electrical safety inspection would, however, reveal all the possible points in your electrical wiring that a short circuit can occur and take care of them. Someone could get hurt Electrical wiring does not last forever. Due to wear and tear, it deteriorates along with its associated accessories. This deterioration can lead to nasty experiences such as electric shock or fire. In such situations, either a guest in your home or someone in your family could get seriously injured or even die. According to the US Fire Administration, there were more than 1.3 million fire incidents in the US in2017. Of this number,364, 300 were home fires and 6.5 percent of those fires were caused by electrical malfunction. You have a legal duty The law also mandates that you keep your house safe, especially where it concerns guests. Apart from this, many US states have local legislation that requires all homeowners to maintain certain electrical standards in their homes. Failure to maintain the required standards can result in stiff sanctions such as fines. Periodic electrical safety inspections can help ensure that your electrical wiring and appliances are up to the applicable standards. You could get sued If a fire breaks out in your home and spreads to neighbouring property or if there is an electrical incident and someone gets hurt, you could find yourself paying far more in damages than you would have for a simple residential electrical inspection. All these reasons just go to emphasize the fact that having your household wiring inspected periodically is absolutely vital. In this next section, we will go over what the inspection will involve. What do electrical safety inspections entail, An electrical safety inspection refers to a thorough check up of all the electrical connections, wiring and appliances in your home. It is like having the doctor come over to give your home a thorough once over. Usually, the inspection would be conducted by an electrical inspector duly authorized certified in your municipality. The inspector will be responsible for conducting a full check of your house to ensure they comply with the National Electrical Code(NEC).The National Electrical Code is part of the National Fire Code series published by the National Fire Protection Association. Although it is called National, the Code is not actually a federal law, or a law in any general sense. It is however adoptable and has been adopted by several US states. Once adopted, the Code becomes a part of local law so that failure to adhere to these standards will be sanctioned. The inspector would usually examine your electrical installations and give them a pass   fail depending on whether they are up to standard. They would also provide a report on the overall condition of your wiring. For an average sized house, the entire inspection and testing process takes between 2 4 hours on average. How long the process takes would, however, depend on the size of your home and any additional buildings on your property.
