The faulty wiring nearly caused a fire in the basement

I wanted to save some money after I bought a house, so I tried to handle as many of the repairs as I could.

I ripped up all of the outdated carpet as well as flooring as well as upgraded the granite on my own.

I resurfaced the countertops in the kitchen as well as upgraded all of the appliances. I upgraded the bathroom with a modern toilet, vanity, as well as shower. I also made some changes to the heating plan in the house. I thought it might be nice to have an electric fireplace downstairs in the rec room. I bought the electric fireplace from the hardware store. There were no electrical outlets someplace in the basement, so I rewired all of the electricity. I ran electricity to unusual outlets on the south as well as west side of the room. I placed the electric fireplace in the perfect spot as well as made a undoubtedly cozy spot for me to relax as well as watch television, and one day in the middle of December, I fell asleep while enjoying a game. I woke up because there was a weird smell in the room. When I opened my eyes, I realized that that weird smell was smoke. The smoke was coming from the electric fireplace. I got up as well as turned off the fireplace. I ran upstairs to grab a fire extinguisher. I keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, bathroom, as well as outside in the garage. I didn’t see any flames, despite the fact that I kept the fire extinguisher in the basement for a while. I had to rewire all of the electricity after I found the reason for the flames as well as smoke.
