Why Electrical Outlet Wiring Matters
Every device in your home—from phone chargers to refrigerators—depends on safe, reliable outlets. Old or poorly wired outlets can cause:
- Shocks or electrocution risks
- Damaged appliances
- Fire hazards
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, electrical malfunctions cause 44,000+ home fires annually. That’s why proper electrical outlet wiring in Los Angeles is not optional—it’s essential.
