Why Grounding Electrical Wires Is So Important
The dangers of a non-grounded electrical system cannot be overstated. Large amounts of electricity flow through your home, and without proper grounding, that power has nowhere safe to go in the event of a surge or malfunction. Grounding helps minimize those risks — and is a critical part of a safe, code-compliant electrical system.
Grounding involves connecting your home’s electrical wiring to the earth near your breaker panel, typically using a grounding rod. This gives electricity a safe, low-resistance path to follow in case of a fault.
Without grounding, a power surge or malfunction — like a microwave shorting out — can send electricity into unintended places, potentially causing severe injury or even death.
Ways to Meet Electrical Code with Proper Grounding:
- Verify a Grounding Electrode System (rod or Ufer) is properly installed
- Confirm a continuous grounding conductor path to the panel and system
- Ensure secure connections using approved clamps and hardware
- Check that all metal enclosures are bonded for equipment grounding
- Test grounding resistance levels to ensure code compliance
- Document all grounding materials, results, and inspections
