This trend has led to the publication of several studies emphasising the need to keep our home&#8217;s electrical wiring in optimal condition. Using the right cables when renovating your home&#8217;s wiring is the first step towards creating a safe environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A European study conducted by FEEDS (<a title=\"European Electrical Domestic Safety\" href=\"https:\/\/feedsnet.org\/#:~:text=The%20Forum%20for%20European%20Electrical,improve%20electrical%20safety%20in%20dwellings.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Forum for European Electrical Domestic Safety<\/a>), Residential Electrical Safety, provides some very significant average data at the European level. On average, there were more than 273,000 fires in homes due to electrical incidents each year. If we analyse by region, the highest incidence is found in the North-West (an area that includes France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom, among others). Southern Europe is the second geographical area with the highest number of domestic fires caused by electrical faults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another study conducted by the NFPA,<em> Home Fires Caused by Electrical Failure or Malfunction<\/em>, shows figures for the United States. Although there has been a significant decline in the number of house fires caused by electrical failure over the last 30 years, the figures are still alarming. In 2019, there were up to 46,000 domestic fires. It is estimated that these accidents have caused 390 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"its-always-a-good-time\"><\/span>IT&#8217;S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Updating your home&#8217;s electrical installation can prevent fatal accidents, so it&#8217;s always a good time to check its condition and, if necessary, renovate the installation. In order to guarantee the proper functioning and durability of the installation, it is necessary to have the right cables for each application and a guarantee of design and manufacture in accordance with regulations. Top Cable cables have these guarantees and, above all, CPR certification, which guarantees maximum safety in the event of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-optimal-cables-for-upgrading-your-homes-electrical-installation\"><\/span>5 OPTIMAL CABLES FOR UPGRADING YOUR HOME&#8217;S ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Top Cable, we offer a wide range of cables for industrial applications for any type of project.
