National Electric Code (NEC) 

The National Electric Code (NEC), formulated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is a set of standards that govern the installation of electrical connections to ensure safety. The NFPA updates these standards regularly in response to technological changes. Building owners should work with a reputable electrician who understands NEC requirements to remain compliant.

If officials from the state's Department of Building Inspection evaluate your building or home and identify poor electrical conditions, they may issue you a notice of violation. A notice of violation describes the types of electrical faults in your building and the exact code your building has violated. The notice will also explain what you need to do to remedy the fault and the date by which the correction should be implemented.

The inspectors will typically give you a voluntary compliance period before the official deadline. During this period, have a professional electrician correct the violations.

Examples of Electrical Code Corrections

The NEC outlines numerous electrical installation and repair incidences that could amount to a code violation. Several non-compliance issues may result in issuing a notice of a breach.

  • Faulty Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

  • Wrongly Grounded Receptacles

  • New Light Fixtures Paired With Old Wiring

    Suppose your building has not been professionally rewired in the last 25 to 30 years. In that case, you probably have an issue with old wiring, and installing new lighting fixtures without a junction box could violate electrical codes.

    These are just a few non-compliance issues that may require violation correction. If you are still determining whether your building's electrical connections are NEC-compliant, ask a qualified electrician to inspect your building and identify potential code violations.
