08. Electrical | New Homes by Lennar

Your electrical system is another major component of your new Lennar home. It doesnt require much maintenance, but does require knowledge of the parts and a keen awareness of the danger of electricity and how to stay safe. This section covers GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters), switched outlets, smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors, and pre-wiring. Use of these items, including how to reset the breaker, testing GFCIs, and maintenance of Carbon Monoxide and smoke detectors is discussed.

Hi itscool1968 and thank you for taking the time to watch our video and comment on it. The video was produced a couple of years ago and the regulation that you are mentioning was not effective back then.

The main cause of circuit breakers tripping in my home is when someone is using a kettle, a coffee maker, the high powered electric fan above the stove, and the microwave or the ceiling lights in whatever combination. You have NO idea how skittish I am at the possibility that an appliance shorted out causing an overload.
