As mentioned above, a building that does not strictly adhere to the NEC standards can be a dangerous one indeed. After all, these standards are not arbitrary. They are put into place after careful consideration regarding the safest way to install an electrical system.
Thus, if your home or business either is not built to these standards or, over time, deviates from those standards through wear or the like, then that building could wind up being a decidedly dangerous place in which to reside.
The dangers you could experience in such a structure are fatal ones indeed:
If you own a home or business, then you’ll spend perhaps the majority of your time there. And if your home or business doesn’t adhere to NEC standards, then you could be putting yourself in danger a majority of your life.
Don’t put your or anyone else’s safety or life at risk. If you have any doubts about your building’s code standards, call up your local electricians at John Jones Electric. We’ll provide a thorough electrical inspection for code compliance and provide any code corrections requiring that we do so.
