HAZARD HIGHLIGHT ⚡ 💥 🔥 😲

burnt out electrical receptacle

Proving that a Birnie HomeSAFE “is your HomeSAFE electrical assessment” is worthy exercise, this customer was eternally grateful that we uncovered this burnt receptacle in their living room. This receptacle was installed using a method called a “quick back stab method”. This method pushes the wires into the back of the receptacle as shown in this photo. True it is quick, but it is risky, hazardous and the reason this receptacle began to spark, arc and caught fire. Birnie HomeSAFE’s electricians never use this method and always use the screw clamp method for this exact reason. If you think your receptacles are connected with the back stab method, you should have an electrical risk assessment to check your receptavles, so your HOME and FAMILY are safe. Call us for a Residential Risk Assessment and get those receptacles checked today!
