Apartment living offers convenience and community, but shared walls and complex electrical systems can create unique safety challenges. From overloaded switchboards to aging wiring hidden behind walls, issues may develop unnoticed until a serious hazard occurs. Fires, shocks, and sudden power failures are all risks when electrical maintenance is overlooked in multi-dwelling buildings.
