Have you recently moved into a new home and haven't had the time to schedule an appointment for an electrical inspection?

Here, we go over why ignoring your electrical inspections can have severe consequences, and how you can solve that problem.

Electricity Can Be Fatal to Your Body

Electricity has become an integral part of our lives. It is the source of almost all our appliances. We can go into the importance of electricity all day, but exposed wires left unattended to can also be very dangerous. Electricity can have severe consequences, and when passed through our bodies can cause severe pain and even trauma. The most severe effect of electricity is death if the voltage is high enough. Even when current has stopped flowing through your body, the body might have trouble regaining control over the muscles from the severe shock. This often leads to permanent paralysis of the human body.

There are so many more problems that can arise from electric shocks, and why it's even more critical to ensure your home is inspected carefully for faulty appliances and exposed wires.

Electrical Fires

According to firerescue1, the leading cause of the ignition of residential electrical fires is exposed to cable wires without sufficient insulation (31%).

It is also reported that there are over 20, 000 reported electrical fires all over the UK.

House fires can cause serious damage to property and can leave you with very high repair costs. If you are renting an apartment, it can be even more costly, and the owners will require you to pay the damage fees upfront. Electrical fires can also lead to serious injuries, burns and even loss of life in severe cases. This goes to show how important it is to have your home inspected by experts in the field. It might not seem important to have your home inspected, and you might think that it is unlikely that you can have that experience. Prevention is the best way to make sure that you never have to worry about electrical fires again.

An electrical safety inspection is a must for every foe every single household. This is to ensure the safety of loved ones from electrical hazards. If you are worried about inspection costs, you may end up saving even more money by having to consult with an electrician if a fault is to happen. Prevention is the best approach at the end of the day.
