What Is an Electrical Inspection?

Put simply, an electrical inspection is an in-depth examination of the electrical systems of your home. This examination involves assessing things such as whether or not the wiring, appliances, circuits, and other electrical components meet the local building and safety standards as well as ensuring that the system meets the minimum National Electrical Code, which applies across America.

Generally, our electricians work off of a checklist to ensure that nothing is missed during your electrical inspection. If there are any concerns, our electricians will review the issues as well as provide recommendations to correct the problems and advise what electrical upgrades you may want to make.

What Happens during an Electrical Inspection?

Depending on what type of building is being inspected, our electrical inspection can vary somewhat.

However, for a residential electrical home inspection, our electricians will generally:

• Review outdoor electrical systems to check for any wear and tear

• Determine that security and safety lighting is operating properly

• Verify that there are smoke detectors and that they are operating properly

• Test carbon monoxide detectors

• Check for electrocution or shock hazards

• Review that light bulbs with the right wattage are in place

• Examine wall outlets and switches to ensure they are in good condition and operate correctly

• Verify that GFCI and AFCI outlets are working properly

• Inspect the circuit breaker panel for the correct labels, amps, and to make sure it is operating without issues

• Double-check that the grounding systems are in place and that the electrical system is connected

• Review surge protection

This inspection checklist can vary, but overall, this is what our electricians look for when inspecting a home. At the end of the inspection, you will receive a report that will detail what areas of your home need attention.
