Common Questions
Electrical Inspection FAQ
What does an electrical safety inspection cover?
The main panel, all breakers, visible wiring, outlets and switches, GFCI and AFCI protection, grounding and bonding, exterior wiring, and high-risk areas like the attic and basement. We provide a written summary with prioritized recommendations.
Should I get an electrical inspection when buying a home?
Yes — especially for homes built before 1980. Standard home inspectors aren't licensed electricians. Our inspection goes deeper, identifies hidden hazards, and gives you leverage in negotiations or a clear picture of what you're buying. Knob-and-tube wiring or a Federal Pacific panel can cost thousands to address.
How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
Older homes (pre-1980) every 3–5 years or when you notice warning signs. Newer homes every 5–10 years. Also schedule one before major renovations, after purchasing a home, or when your insurance company requests it.
Do you provide a written report after the inspection?
Yes. We provide a written summary categorized by severity — immediate safety concerns, items to address soon, and things to monitor — with documentation you can use for insurance or real estate purposes.
How long does an electrical inspection take?
Typically 1.5–3 hours depending on the size and age of the home and the complexity of the electrical system.
