What Are Electrical Code Violations?

Electrical code violations occur when an electrical system fails to meet safety and building codes, which are designed to protect people and property. Common violations include improper wiring, outdated components, overloaded circuits, or lack of grounding. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to electrical fires, shocks, or system failures.
