Everything may seem completely fine with your electrical system, but is it completely safe?

When Should You Get an Inspection?
There’s almost never a bad time to get an electrical inspection—the more you know about your electrical equipment and the devices that depend on it, the better. Electrical and building codes are also always changing, and that means you’ll need to regularly update your system in order to ensure you stay safe and that your home won’t experience any issues if you’re planning on selling or if you’re trying to purchase home insurance.
We strongly advise getting an inspection in the following situations:
- When purchasing a new home
- Every five years after your home reaches the age of 40
- When adding a new appliance or replacing an existing one
- When your home has undergone a major renovation
What’s Covered In an Inspection?
Our electrical inspection services are thorough and meticulous, ensuring that no potential problem is missed and no system goes unchecked. Each inspection is different because each home has a unique electrical system. While we follow a pattern to ensure nothing is missed, we tailor our inspection to deliver personalized results.
Our inspections cover a wide range of electrical components, from the most common and basic to the most unique and individual. We even cover things that you may not anticipate!
Our inspections include:
- Switch and wall outlet condition
- Electrical panel condition
- Function of arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI)
- Proper installation and function of ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI)
- Smoke and carbon monoxide detector testing
- Verification and testing of surge protection
- Confirmation of grounding systems
- Safety and security outdoor lighting checks
- Electrical code conformity inspections
While there are certain times where it’s extremely important to have an inspection, we strongly advise having your electrical system inspected at least once every two to three years to ensure that everything stays up to date and that no potential issues have emerged. We especially advise this if you’ve experienced any major issues, such as one particular circuit continually shutting off, rolling brown-outs, and more. There could be an issue with your system that you’re unaware of causing these symptoms.
