HOME ELECTRICAL INSPECTION
Know the condition of your home's electrical system. Whether you're buying, selling, or just want peace of mind, a professional inspection identifies safety issues and potential problems before they become emergencies.
Who Needs an Electrical Inspection?
An inspection makes sense in many situations—not just when problems are obvious.
Buying a Home
General home inspectors often miss electrical issues. A dedicated electrical inspection reveals the true condition of the system before you buy.
Selling a Home
Address electrical issues before listing. A pre-sale inspection helps you fix problems that could derail a sale or reduce your home's value.
Older Homes
Homes over 25 years old should have periodic electrical inspections. Wiring deteriorates, codes change, and electrical demands increase.
Comprehensive Inspection
We examine every accessible part of your electrical system.
Electrical Panel
Check for proper sizing, secure connections, signs of overheating, and outdated equipment like Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels.
Wiring Type
Identify wiring type and condition. Flag hazardous wiring like knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, or cloth insulation.
Outlets & Switches
Test all accessible outlets for proper grounding, polarity, and GFCI/AFCI protection where required.
Grounding & Bonding
Verify proper grounding to earth and bonding of all metal components. Essential for safety and lightning protection.
Smoke/CO Detectors
Check smoke and CO detector placement, age, and functionality. Recommend upgrades where needed.
Code Compliance
Identify obvious code violations. Note: Older homes aren't required to meet current code, but we flag safety concerns.

Inspection FAQs
Is this the same as a home inspection?
No. A general home inspector looks at many systems briefly. Our electrical inspection is a deep dive performed by a licensed electrician who specializes in electrical systems.
Will you open up walls?
No, we inspect what's accessible without destructive investigation. We can see a lot from the panel, attic, basement, and accessible outlets.
What if you find problems?
You'll receive a written report listing all findings. We prioritize issues by safety severity. You can then decide what to address and get a quote for repairs.
Can I use this for a real estate transaction?
Yes. Our report is professional documentation of the electrical system's condition. Many buyers request an electrical inspection in addition to the general home inspection.
