No matter your house is big or not, there is still a risk of fire due to the short-circuit electricity. Therefore, it is not exaggerating to always remind you to be very careful. In a big and expensive house, the fire detection system like alarm and others commonly have been installed. Unfortunately, it gives some disadvantages also since the system often detects improper fire and smoke that are not dangerous at all, commonly coming from the kitchen. That’s why, some people then decide to uninstall it.
It must be understood that the electricity department and company in your country are commonly only responsible for the supply only. They provide boxes along with partitions equipped with MCB and safety fuse. For the rest, of course, it depends on the homeowners. Below, there are some tips to make sure that your home is always safe and free from dangerous fire possibilities.
Qualified and Standardized Cables

Here is an example. For a house with a width less than 70 m2 with only 2 or 3 bedrooms, it is enough to use a cable with a diameter of 2.5 mm. This type of cable is strong enough to be flown by the power stream up to 5,000 watts. Additionally, the outer layer of the cable should be the conduit pipe that is strong enough even from the rat’s bite.
A Separate Line for Certain Electronic Devices
Certain electronic devices like the water pump, AC, refrigerator, water heater, and the likes should have their own lines. Of course, it is for the sake of safety since those devices indeed require big power. There are some side effects if those devices have the same line with the main electricity system at home. one of them; you may have experienced this one; the lamp is continuously twinkling when the water pump is working.
Sure, in the worst case it leads to electricity failure or even short circuit. Even when the short circuit happens, the fire tends to get bigger faster for the unified system.
Electrician Safety Inspection
It is reasonable if many fire cases happen recently. Despite external factors like weather and more, homeowners often don’t know exactly how the electricity system works. It is something that cannot be judged. Not all people have enough knowledge about electric things.
So, the solution is using services from the electrician safety inspection company. You can make a request that their team should go to your house and conduct regular inspection. The inspection itself is conducted entirely in your house. When the problem or trouble is detected, the repairing process is also done as soon as possible before it is getting worse and causing bigger accidents like fire.
