JTH Electrics recently had a customer who experienced an arcing fault in their home’s electrical system. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the incident highlighted the need for a more advanced safety system. JTH Electrics offered to upgrade their consumer unit and install Arc Fault Detection Devices, and the customer wisely took them up on their offer.
What is an Arc Fault Detection Device, you may ask? An Arc Fault Detection Device (AFDD) is a relatively new safety device designed to detect and prevent electrical fires. AFDDs detect arc faults, which are electrical discharges that occur when there is a break, gap or loose connections in an electrical circuit. Arc faults can generate intense heat, which can ignite nearby materials, such as wood or paper, and start a fire.
By installing AFDDs, JTH Electrics can help to significantly reduce the risk of electrical fires in your home. In fact, in many cases, AFDDs can detect and isolate the fault before it even becomes a serious hazard. This can potentially save you and your family from devastating loss.
Upgrading your consumer unit and installing AFDDs is a wise choice for any homeowner. Not only will you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your home is safer, but you will also be improving the overall safety and efficiency of your electrical system. This can lead to lower energy bills and fewer repair costs in the long run.
