What Is an Electrical Inspection?
An electrical inspection is a visual and functional examination of your property’s entire electrical system. This includes the main panel, subpanels, wiring, outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, grounding, and bonding. We check for overloaded circuits, loose connections, improper splices, outdated materials (like aluminum or knob-and-tube), and missing GFCI/AFCI protection.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed report listing any safety concerns, code violations, and recommended repairs — prioritized by urgency. No surprises. No unnecessary upselling.
What We Check During an Electrical Inspection
- Main electrical panel and breaker condition
- Wiring type and insulation integrity
- Outlet polarity and grounding
- GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, and outdoors
- AFCI protection for bedroom and living circuits
