Electrical Safety

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:

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.
