Regarding safety, what is a significant concern if wiring does not account for future electricity increases?

Wiring systems are designed to handle a specific amount of electrical load safely. If the wiring does not account for potential future increases in electrical demand, it can lead to overheating and overloading of the circuit. This is because as more devices or appliances are added, the existing wiring may not be able to carry the additional current safely, which can result in excessive heat buildup. Overloaded wiring can lead to damage of the electrical components, insulation failure, and in extreme cases, can cause electrical fires. Therefore, ensuring that wiring is appropriately sized and rated for potential future load increases is critical for maintaining safety and preventing hazardous conditions in electrical systems.
