An estimated 90 percent of homes globally have unsafe electrical installations, and nearly 70 percent of building fires are caused by the overheating of electrical wires. Overloads, short circuits and faulty insulations cause billions in property damage or losses each year. A simple solution for this is installing copper electricity conductors into a home.

A home is safer because of copper wiring. Copper wiring in the home is not only easy to install, but it serves as a better conduit and lasts longer than any other material. Copper wiring delivers:

  • Reliability: Copper electricity conductors increase system safety and quality, improving the performance of the construction and adding, in turn, value to the property.
  • Efficiency: Copper electricity conductors reduce energy losses leading to lower CO2 emissions and lower utility bills.
  • Quality: Copper is easy to install, offers excellent performance, and has a value making it economically attractive to recycle at its end of life.

While there are other electrical conductors in the market, all have lower conductivities with reduce system safety and durability and increase end-user electricity costs.
