Need proof? Here are the FACTS about home electrical fires...
It can take less than 3 minutes for a smoldering fire to reach flash over (900oF) and engulf an entire room!2
In 50% of fatal structure fires response time is 5 minutes or less.2
Every year in North America 82,500 MAJOR electrical related fires are reported.1
An additional 890,000 electrical related fires in homes go unreported every year!1 That's almost 1 million fires a year!
These fires typically cause an alarming 500 deaths and 2,800 serious injuries.1
Over $1 billion in property and personal possessions are destroyed.1
Current protection is not good enough!
Every home has a circuit breaker panel or a fuse box. They provide adequate protection against overloading in-wall wiring. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) provide further shock and fire protection.
BUT.. even with these current technologies there are MAJOR GAPS in electrical fire protection!
Many dangerous hazards like high resistance connections, floating neutral conditions and appliance and cord overloads still go undetected and cause deadly fires!
Don't be a victim! Learn about deadly fire hazards that may exist in your home.
High Resistance Connections
High resistance connections can occur in hidden locations like the walls of your home, even if your home is new! High Resistance connections can be caused by loose screw connections in receptacles, bad wire crimps, damaged wires and loose plug and socket connections (also known as poor retention force).
Electricity passing through a high resistance connection can heat up to 2000 degrees fahrenheit and easily start a fire.
These hidden fires are difficult to impossible to detect.

Floating Neutral Condition
A poor household ground connection (at the breaker panel), also called a “floating neutral”, can nearly double the voltage and supply 4X the power to a regular appliance.
The extra power turns into heat and can turn a normally safe device into an excellent fire ignition source.
Excess voltage (220V) caused by a floating neutral situation causes a curling iron to melt itself at 570 degrees fahrenheit.

Overload Fires
Excessive current draw can overload electronic device wires and extension cords and start fires.
These hot wires can ignite materials close by, such as carpet, drapes, paper, clothing and more. These unexpected fires are often deadly.

Consumer products kill over 25,000 people every year!
In 2006 the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published there is an average of 25,900 deaths and 33.2 million injuries related to consumer products, each year!4
1000's of consumer electrical products are recalled due to fire and shock hazards. You may have faulty recalled appliances in your home you don't even know about! Check the (CPSC) website regularly for updated recalls.
