Benfield Electric Wishes you a Merry Christmas

With the Holidays just around the corner, we're all looking forward to the wonderful times the season brings but while normal day to day usage may be no cause for concern, consider the added demand on your wiring systems when you run cook tops, ovens and microwaves to make those Holiday feasts and put up decorative lighting to add the seasons magic, all while the football game is on the flat screen TV and the kids are playing video games in thier rooms. All of this adds up to a potential overload of your home's system.
No Cause for worry?
According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), fires occurring during the holiday season claim the lives of over
400 people, injure 1,650 more and cause over $990 million in damage each year.

One way to ensure the safety of your home and family this season is to have a thorough inspection of your homes wiring system and while it's a smart idea to get a professional inspection of your home wiring, it's also a great gift for someone whose safety and well being is important to you. Check out our Unique
CurrentSAFE page for more details on this exciting new service.

Benfield Electric Offers CurrentSAFE

What is CurrenSAFE?

Over 180 families will have a fire in their home today due to an Electrical Problem!
There are more than 100 thousand electrical fires a year in the United States accounting for hundreds of deahs, thousands of injuries and billions of dollars in property damage.
At CurrentSAFE we understand that not everyone will have a devastating electrical fire in their lifetime. Although our goal is to eliminate all home electrical fires, this service also identifies electrical problems in home electrical systems that may unexpectedly creep-up on a homeowner and cause a problem in the future.
Unexpected electrical service cost can be devastating to the family budget. Our service also allows the homeowner time to prepare and budget for needed improvements or upgrades.
THE SOLUTION: HAVE YOUR HOME TESTED FOR ELECTRICAL HAZARDS!!
The National Fire Protection Association states that "Ignoring your home's electrical system can be a costly mistake. Our lives literally depend on the safe use of electricity in our homes and often safety hazards can go unnoticed or unseen. Even what homeowners might think of as a "minor" problem can lead to a devastating fire."

The Electrical Safety Foundation Intl states, "Have a licensed electrician or electrical inspector check your homes electrical wiring and distribution system to reduce the likelihood or elctrocutions and fires.

This equipment allows us to detect electrical hazards that are hidden behind the walls without having to dismantle, damage or cut into any parts of the home. CurrentSAFE enables us to detect an electrical problem or shock hazard before they become a costly event or a fatal tragedy.
