Electrical Repairs – Did you Know

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports, on average the United States suffers more than 39,600 electrical home fires per year, resulting in over 430 fatalities, and causing an estimated $1.3 billion dollars in property damage. The leading causes of loss are electrical distribution equipment, such as circuit breaker panels, and lighting equipment and fixtures. Interestingly, bedrooms and attics are the leading locations for electrical fires to originate. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the average age for existing homes in the United States is 39 years with some regions exceeding 60 years of service. Like any piece of equipment, wear and tear necessitates routine maintenance and periodic repairs for renewal. Sadly, more than 2,400 children are severely shocked or burned each year from obsolete residential electrical equipment still in use.

NFPA 70, also known as the National Electric Code (NEC) serves as the industry standard for safe electrical repairs and installations. Like all model building codes, the NEC is regularly updated on a three-year cycle, expanding minimum installation requirements to enhance occupant safety. Lessons learned from fire and water damage investigations inform any proposed changes to the National Electric Code. Based on the age of existing housing, most residential electrical systems are 12 or more code cycles behind, potentially posing home fire hazards. In addition to aging electrical infrastructure, recent decades have seen a steady increase in both the frequency and severity of severe weather and storm events. Specifically, winters bringing unusual snow and ice accumulations, severe spring storms with heavy rains and winds, and summer heat waves all contribute to electrical equipment damage and incidences of homes fires. In fact, damage to electrical equipment is now so prevalent, multiple industry organizations publish guidance on electrical equipment assessment, repair, and replacement. 

The National Fire Protection Association developed a checklist to assist licensed electricians in assessing whether electrical systems may be repaired, or if equipment requires replacement. This checklist builds from recommendations in NFPA 70B “Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance”. Additionally, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) published guidelines for evaluating water-damaged electrical equipment. Electrical equipment suffering water damage from extreme storms can be extremely dangerous if energized. Although specific manufacturers may allow reconditioning and reuse, generally once electrical components are damaged by water, they must be replaced. Finally, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) has published a document for water immersed products, effectively supplementing NEMA guidelines. During repair work to electrical equipment, consideration should be given to voluntarily upgrading certain obsolete equipment, and installation of enhanced fault and surge protection.
