Is Your Home Safe?
At Mr. Electric the safety and security of your family is our first priority. We also want to be sure that we take all the steps necessary to protect your home and property. The more information and knowledge about electrical safety we can provide our customers and the public, the better. This is why we partner with Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI). We want to ensure that we provide the consumer with accurate and up to date electrical safety and security information.
“Knowledge can save your life,” said ESFI President Brett C. Brenner. “If you know the signs of an overloaded electrical circuit or how to test a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet, you can prevent electrocution or electrical fires.”
Electrical fires, electrocution and electric shock injuries are the most common threats in regards to your electrical safety.
According to the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC), there was an annual average of 104,500 (unintentional, electrical, residential structure) fires from 1999-2003, which resulted in about 500 deaths, 4,280 injuries, and nearly $1.5 billion in property loss.
Mr. Electric takes all the precautions to help you prevent electrical fires or electric shock due to faulty wires or appliances. This is why we provide a complimentary safety checkup with every service call.
CPSC’s latest data (2003) indicate that there were an estimated 160 electrocutions related to consumer products.
