FAQ ­ Electricity Q: Is it possible for a low-tension, 120-volt wire to cause a fatal shock? Yes! Statistics confirm that a high percentage of past electrocutions involved 120-volt circuits. In fact, death can be caused by one tenth of the current required to light a single 100-watt, 120-volt light bulb. And electricity at 120 volts is the standard in all houses, today. Q: Can wood conduct electricity? Yes! Contrary to a number of popular beliefs, natural wood is often a conductor. The sap flowing through tree branches enhances the conductivity of wood. Likewise, rain and snow penetrate the wood of decks and ladders, which, in turn become conductors. Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity and is often imbedded in wood ladders for structural purposes, again increasing their conductivity. Although wood can be a good insulator, it must be treated and maintained under certain specific conditions. That is why wood is no longer allowed to be used as insulation. - News Canada Call for a free estimate 905-301-4080 Interiors & Home Improvements Inc. www.geminteriors.ca ATTENTION BUSINESSES!
