What an Electrical Inspection Covers

Every property is different, but our inspections examine the areas most likely to harbor hidden hazards. We check your electrical panel for correct operation, proper breaker sizing, clear labeling, signs of overheating, corrosion, and double-tapped breakers. We inspect visible wiring for damage, improper splices, and outdated systems like aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube. We test GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations to confirm they trip within the required response time. We verify grounding and bonding where accessible. We check outlets and switches for proper connections, correct polarity, and secure mounting. We look for signs of unsafe repairs, overloaded circuits, water exposure, and improper use of extension cords.

After the inspection, you receive a clear written report with findings, any identified hazards, and specific repair recommendations—not a generic checklist. If you tell us what prompted the inspection, we customize the visit to deliver meaningful answers.

Signs You Need an Electrical Inspection

  • Breakers trip repeatedly
  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Warm or discolored outlets
  • Burning smell without a clear source
  • Any tingling or shock when touching appliances
  • Buying or selling a home
  • After a lightning storm or repeated outages
  • Before or after a remodel
  • Home is older than 25 years and has not been inspected

Breakers Tripping? Lights Flickering? Warm Outlets?

These are not minor annoyances—they are warning signs of hidden electrical problems. An inspection identifies the root cause and gives you a clear repair plan before the problem escalates.

Why Electrical Inspections Matter

The Electrical Safety Foundation International reports that home electrical fires cause an estimated 51,000 fires annually, nearly 500 deaths, and $1.3 billion in property damage. Most of these fires start with wiring that has deteriorated over time, connections that have loosened, or circuits that carry more load than they were designed to handle. An inspection catches these problems early—before they cause a fire, an outage, or damaged equipment.

Beyond safety, an inspection protects your investment. A documented electrical inspection adds credibility during a home sale, satisfies insurance requirements, and gives you a clear plan for any upgrades that would improve function and efficiency. If your home still has a 100-amp panel, aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets, or missing GFCI protection, an inspection identifies exactly what needs attention and in what order.

How Often Should You Have an Electrical Inspection?

Electrical panels and wiring should be inspected every three to five years by a licensed electrician. Homes older than 25 years or homes with known issues like aluminum wiring should be inspected more frequently. GFCI outlets should be tested every six months—you can do this yourself by pressing the test button and confirming the outlet loses power. Smoke detectors should be tested monthly, batteries replaced annually, and the entire unit replaced every 10 years. If any of these tests fail, schedule a professional inspection.

Electrical Inspection vs. Home Inspection

A home inspection is a broad review of the entire property and typically only notes visible electrical concerns before recommending a specialist. An electrical inspection by a licensed electrician is focused specifically on the electrical system—deeper testing of safety devices, circuits, panel condition, and connections where accessible. It identifies hazards, explains what is causing problems, and provides specific repair recommendations. If you are buying a home and the general home inspector flagged electrical concerns, a dedicated electrical inspection is the next step.

Buying a Home? Selling? Insurance Request?

A professional electrical inspection gives you documented proof that the system is safe and code-compliant—or a clear list of exactly what needs fixing. We provide written reports with specific findings and recommendations.

No. A home inspection is a broad property review that may only note visible electrical concerns. An electrical inspection by a licensed electrician involves deeper testing of your panel, circuits, safety devices, and connections. It is designed to identify specific hazards and provide actionable repair recommendations.
Yes. Repeated breaker trips are one of the most common reasons homeowners schedule an inspection. The cause could be an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, a ground fault, or a failing breaker. We test the circuit, measure the load, and identify the root cause so we can recommend the right fix—whether that is redistributing loads, adding a dedicated circuit, or replacing a faulty breaker.
Yes. Lightning strikes near your home can damage wiring, surge protection devices, panel components, and sensitive electronics even without a direct hit. If you experienced a nearby strike and notice any electrical irregularities afterward—tripping breakers, flickering lights, non-functioning outlets—schedule an inspection to assess for hidden damage.
Yes. Our inspection covers the electrical panel (breaker condition, sizing, labeling, overheating), visible wiring and connections, outlets and switches (operation, polarity, grounding), GFCI outlets (trip testing in required locations), and grounding and bonding where accessible. You receive a written report with all findings.
We discuss every finding with you, explain the severity and urgency, and provide specific repair recommendations. Minor issues can often be addressed on the spot. Larger repairs—panel upgrades, rewiring, GFCI installation—are quoted separately with transparent pricing. We handle all repair work in-house.
