How Can I Tell If My Office Wiring Is a Fire Hazard? 

Every year, nearly a thousand American businesses experience the dangers of an electrical fire. Many companies assume they won’t have an issue, yet the statistics show that it happens often enough for business owners and property managers to make electrical safety a top priority. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we want our clients to have safe and effective electricity in their homes and businesses. We understand that it isn’t always easy for companies to know if their office spaces are at risk, and that’s why we’re happy to offer a few tips and suggestions. 

Common Causes of Work Place Fires

Electrical fires can ignite for many different reasons. The most common fire hazards found in commercial buildings include outdated or unsafe wiring, damaged breaker boxes, overloaded circuits, poorly installed fixtures and outlets or rodent and pest damage. If you notice flickering lights, strange buzzing sounds, melted or smoking outlets or unsafe wiring materials, be sure to get help from a professional electrician right away. These are all red flags that serve as a warning to property owners that a fire is likely to occur soon, or at some point in the future. 

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call  they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

The Importance of Electrical Inspections

An electrical inspection can help property owners determine the exact source and cause of any electrical problems. This is extremely helpful, because companies can find a solution that’s unique to their exact needs. It’s important not to wait until trouble presents itself before you get an electrical inspection. The best approach is to schedule a regular annual or semi-annual commercial inspection, so you can become aware of potential problems early and get it repaired or replaced before the damage causes further complications. 

How to Improve the Electrical Safety of Your Business 

While annual inspections are an excellent way to help avoid electrical fires, there are other ways you can contribute to the overall electrical safety of your building. The first step is to become informed about safety standards by educating yourself with OSHA materials and suggestions. Never overload circuits or ignore necessary repairs. In addition, keep an eye out for warning signals and don’t allow untrained employees to handle electrical problems. Keep your electrician’s contact information easily available, so staff can quickly take care of any issue right away.
