Safety Concerns of Old Wiring

According to a 2009 study by the National Fire Prevention Association, faulty wiring is the most common cause of house and apartment fires in the United States. As fire codes and building codes improve over time, electrical wiring becomes more safe long-term. However, any wiring over 40 years old should be checked by a qualified electrical expert periodically. This is a worthwhile investment for  safety and peace of mind.
