Common Code Violations

Whether you’re in the middle of a new construction or updating your current space for changes in the National Electric Code, you may wonder what issues to look for. Here are a few common code violations:

  • Faulty Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): GFCIs regulate the amount of current between outlets and are required in areas where water and electricity might mix, such as in the kitchen or bathroom. If this malfunctions, you risk electrocution, so they should be replaced as soon as possible.
  • Wrongly grounded outlets: Buildings older than 1960 don’t have a ground in their outlets to help prevent fires in case of lightning or faulty appliances. To become compliant with the NEC, you will need to replace the receptacles and properly ground them.
  • New additions with old wiring: Many businesses and homes are being updated with energy-efficient fixtures such as LED lights, but wiring that hasn’t been updated in the last 30 years may not be able to handle these temperature changes. Don’t put your business or home at risk for an electrical fire; always have your wiring inspected and updated when upgrading lights or appliances.
  • Crowding a service panel: Your panel requires a clearance of 30 inches wide, three feet deep, and six feet and eight inches high to meet the NEC requirements or the size of a typical refrigerator. This protects the person working on the panel and allows the area to be accessed quickly in an emergency. This area should not be used as storage or require a ladder to access.

Safety is our top priority for our team members and your home or business. That’s why providing electrical code violation corrections in Southbury is so important to us. The NEC standards are created to protect you, and you’re building from electrical fires and other dangerous hazards.
