Tips to Prevent Electrical Fire in Commercial Property
Besides your annual inspection there are several things you can do as a property owner to ensure your commercial building is safe and protect your employees and clients against the threat of an electrical fire. First and foremost, all commercial buildings must be equipped with AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupter) and GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets and circuit breakers. These devices will respond to overloads, short circuits and arcing conditions in order to prevent shocks, electrocutions and fires. Secondly, you should perform your own periodic inspections to check for burnt outlets, flickering lights, damaged cords and electronic devices which are all signs of a dangerous electrical situation that must be addressed right away.

Old and newer buildings alike are susceptible to electrical damage that can cause fires. Wiring can crack due to age, chewed through by rodents and/or contaminated by moisture, which cannot be seen or detected easily. Circuit breakers can overload when too much amperage is transmitted than the device can handle. Loose electrical connections can cause overheating and results in a burning electrical smell. Each of these hazards poses a threat to the safety of your building, staff members and clients. The highly experienced and licensed electricians at EP Electric LLC can evaluate your electrical system and suggest repairs or upgrades to ensure your building is protected against fires.
