If you've ever taken a look at the statistics surrounding home electrical hazards, you know they're staggering to think about. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical wiring malfunctions cause 30,000 fires, 200 deaths, and a thousand injuries yearly. And that's before you factor in $600 million in property damage! Fortunately, there's plenty you can do to keep yourself and your family safe. The National Electrical Code issues standards for electrical safety every few years, and Mr. Electric of Chattanooga can help you stay on top of changes and corrections. Our technicians are proud to serve residents of Chattanooga and Hixon, TN and Ringgold, GA.

Our 10 Top Takeaways From the 2020 Code
Understanding the full NEC code is nothing short of a challenge. But in addition to explaining the electrical code update cost and recommending fixes, our electricians can walk you through some of the most significant changes to the standards. Here are our most notable takeaways from 2020's Electrical Code update:
- New regulations for transferring power from electric vehicle (EV) batteries to residential wiring
- Enhanced surge protection requirements to preserve sensitive safety equipment
- Revisions to solar-generated energy storage requirements in an effort to keep up with advances in technology
- New sections on using Ethernet cables to transmit data and electrical power at the same time
- Updated regulations requiring all basement receptacles to have GFCI protection (even if the basement is unfinished)
- GFCI protection now includes all 125- and 25-volt receptacles supplied by a single-phase circuit 150 volts or less to ground
- New requirements for covering exposed cables on ceilings and walls
- Exterior emergency power disconnect switches must now be installed at all new one- and two-family dwellings (this creates safer working conditions for first responders)
- New service disconnect rules involving de-energizing panel boards
- Revised load calculation tables to account for modern energy efficiency (primarily thanks to LED lighting's popularity)

Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
