Home Remedies… Chelan and Wenatchee Home Inspector

We do get to see some fun things out there in the world of Real Estate and property inspections. You all know what I mean.

Too bad most of the inventions are downright dangerous.

Here we have an example of some cool work. This is a window unit Air Conditioner that just did not have a a proper connection and needed a fix.
             




But what if you do not have an outlet readily available? No problem we can fix that, and here is the fix.

Electrical Wiring Issues- Wenatchee Home Inspector

Electrical Wiring issues are some of the most common defects found during a home inspection will be improper wiring. Many people think they understand the basic principle of residential wiring and don't or just do not understand the risk that they are subjecting themselves and their families to.

According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International "Wiring hazards including damaged and exposed wiring and household wiring together accounted for 20 percent of electrocutions."
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that there are over 30,000 home fires annually associated with electrical distribution systems (wiring), resulting in over 200 deaths, nearly 1,000 injuries and over $600 million in property damage.
Here are a few examples of some wiring that makes you wonder how someone did not get hurt.
