ABR Electric is dedicated to delivering electrical work that lasts a lifetime! In this video, we'll address a common question - why you should never put Romex in conduit - and explore the key factors that contribute to long-lasting electrical installations.

First and foremost, we'll emphasize the importance of following the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. Romex, also known as non-metallic sheathed cable, is not designed to be run inside conduit. The outer jacket of Romex provides crucial insulation and protection for individual wires. When placed in conduit, Romex is unable to dissipate heat efficiently, which can lead to potential overheating and increased risks.
