Electrical Inspection

Comprehensive electrical inspections for residential and commercial properties to identify safety hazards, code violations, and system deficiencies.

Why schedule an electrical inspection

Electrical inspections are critical for identifying hidden hazards before they cause shocks, fires, or equipment damage. Many electrical problems develop gradually and go unnoticed until they cause a failure or safety incident. A professional electrical inspection evaluates every component of your electrical system from the service entrance to individual outlets and provides a clear picture of its condition.

Regular electrical inspections are recommended for older homes, properties with outdated wiring, and buildings that have undergone renovations. They are also required when buying or selling a home, after major renovations, and when adding significant electrical loads like EV chargers or HVAC systems.

What an inspection covers

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes evaluation of the main service panel, branch circuits, outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, grounding system, smoke and CO detectors, and visible wiring throughout the property. The electrician checks for proper panel labeling, correct breaker sizing, GFCI and AFCI protection, and signs of overheating or damage.

We also inspect the service entrance, meter base, and main disconnect for condition and code compliance. Exterior outlets, landscape lighting, and connections to outbuildings are included. For commercial properties, we evaluate emergency lighting, exit signs, fire alarm systems, and backup power systems.

Inspection process and reporting

A typical residential electrical inspection takes one to two hours depending on property size and system complexity. The electrician examines all accessible electrical components, tests outlets and GFCI devices, and checks for common issues like reversed polarity, open grounds, and improperly wired fixtures. Thermal imaging may be used to detect overheating connections.

After the inspection, you receive a detailed report documenting all findings including photos of any issues discovered. The report prioritizes items by urgency from immediate safety hazards to recommended upgrades. We explain each finding in plain language.

When to schedule an inspection

We recommend electrical inspections every 3-5 years for most properties, and annually for older homes with outdated wiring. Inspections are also essential when buying or selling a property to identify hidden issues that could affect the transaction.

Signs that you may need an inspection sooner include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm outlets or switch plates, discolored outlets, and any burning odors from electrical components.
