Your Attic Wiring Has Been Baking at 140F Every Summer Since the House Was Built

Spot electrical heat damage before it starts a fire: https://walt-brennan.netlify.app/ The hottest I've ever been in my life wasn't up a pole or in a boiler room — it was 141°F in a Pennsylvania attic, where I put my hand on a house cable that had been baking through every summer since 1968. In this video, I explain why your attic wiring takes a beating from heat year after year, what that does to the insulation and connections over time, and why "it's always worked fine" doesn't mean it's safe. What I cover: - Why attic temperatures climb far higher than most people realize - What decades of summer heat does to old cable insulation - The warning signs worth paying attention to before they become a problem - Why heat damage builds quietly, long before anything trips or sparks If you want to learn how to read the warning signs yourself — without opening covers or touching live equipment — my manual walks you through it chapter by chapter. #homewiring #electricalsafety #atticinsulation #homemaintenance #oldhouse #firesafety
