What we look at
- Main panel condition, labeling, breakers and visible wiring
- Grounding and bonding where accessible
- GFCI and AFCI protection in required areas
- Outlets, switches and fixtures for wear, damage or improper installation
- Signs of overheating, double-tapped breakers and other common hazards
When an inspection helps
- You’re buying or selling a property and want a closer look at the electrical system
- Your home is older or has been added onto
- You’ve noticed warning signs such as warm outlets, tripping breakers or flickering lights
- Your insurer has asked about your panel or wiring
An electrical safety inspection by an electrician is separate from an official code inspection by your local building department, and separate from a general home inspection. We’ll explain what we found and what we recommend.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as a permit inspection?
No. Permit inspections are performed by your local building department on permitted work. A safety inspection is an electrician’s review of your existing system.
What happens if you find a problem?
We’ll explain what we found, why it matters, and what your options are. Repairs are only done if you decide to proceed.
