There is no such thing as faulty electrical wiring according to some electrical engineers due to the fact that it cannot be operational in the first place.
However, I disagree we have to be specific and know the fact when we used the term “Faulty electrical wiring” .
Here are some instances.
Do you think you may have a problem with your electric wiring? Did you know that there are more than 40,000 fires caused by bad wiring or improper use of electric cords and appliances.
If you’re concerned about your home wiring, here are some tips about what causes electric fires, what the signs may be and a recommendation from the Consumer Products Safety Commission about how to help protect yourself.

Be Aware and Know the Facts
Is an older house more at risk for wiring problems?
Half of the nation’s housing stock is more than 30 years old. Many older homes were not designed to meet current-day electricity demands. An older home doesn’t necessarily mean a hazardous home, but if you live in one, you should be aware that wiring could be a problem.
What are the problems with older homes?
Homes that are 100 years or more old, were wired at 30 amps. By mid-century, that had increased to 60 amps. More recently, homes have been wired at 150 to 200 amps. Some new homes are wired at 800 amps.
If your home was wired before the 1950s, it may have poor wire insulation, ungrounded (2 prong) outlets, and fuse boxes instead of circuit breakers. All of these things increase the risk of fire and accident.
