5 Hidden Fire Hazards in NMB Homes
Is Salt Air or Aluminum Wiring putting your home at risk?
DOWNLOAD FREE CHECKLISTIf your home was built before 2005, you need to read this. The coastal environment in North Myrtle Beach creates unique corrosion issues that inland electricians miss.
The Top 5 Hazards We Find:
1. Meter Base Corrosion ("Salt Rot")
Salt accumulates on the metal lugs of your outdoor meter, creating resistance and heat. Warning Sign: Rust streaks on siding or flickering lights.
2. Aluminum Wiring (1960s-70s)
Common in older beach condos. Aluminum expands differently than copper, causing connections to loosen and arc. Fix: We install AlumiConn connectors to make it safe.
3. Dangerous Panels (FPE & Zinsco)
Federal Pacific "Stab-Lok" panels are known to not trip during a surge, leading to melted wires. These are uninsurable and must be replaced.
4. Frozen GFCI Outlets
Salt air seizes up the internal mechanism of outdoor outlets. If the "Test" button won't click, you have zero shock protection.
5. No Surge Protection
Lightning strikes in NMB are frequent. Without a whole-home protector, one strike can fry your AC, Stove, and TVs instantly.
