  • 11 civilian deaths per year
  • 51 civilian injuries per year
  • $28 million in direct property damage per year

Will A GFCI outlet save your life?

Did you know that a GFCI outlet can save your life?

Q: What happens when you mix electricity and water?
A: Nerve and tissue damage, burns, gangrene, and death.

Is it really that serious? Yes it is.

That is why the installation of ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles is mandatory in homes today. In fact, did you know that before the installation of GFCIs were mandatory, nearly 800 people died annually from household electrocutions? Today, less than 200 people die annually from household electrocutions.

Air conditioner fires & how to prevent them (updated)

*Updated on July 18, 2017.

When it’s hot and muggy outside, we become truly thankful for air conditioner systems! It’s hard to imagine what life was like before they invented AC. When it’s 98 degrees in August and the humidity is 100%, you’d give anything to turn the air conditioner on. This can lead to a problem: air conditioner fires.

A 2016 report from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) gives some somber statistics. In 2014, air conditioning, fans, or related equipment were involved in an estimated 7,800 reported U.S. home structure fires. Sadly 50 people died and 260 were sent to the hospital with injuries.
