When an inspection helps
An inspection gives a homeowner, buyer, property manager or insurer a documented view of accessible electrical conditions. Common triggers include an older property, repeated symptoms, a purchase or sale, an insurance request, or uncertainty after previous alterations.
Burning odors, active arcing, heat, smoke or loss of essential power need immediate attention rather than a routine inspection appointment.
What we review
The agreed scope can include accessible service equipment, panels, grounding and bonding, receptacles, switches, visible wiring, GFCI or AFCI protection and conditions connected to the concern that prompted the visit.
Older installations may warrant closer attention to obsolete panels, aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, grounding and previous alterations, but age alone does not establish a defect.
Limits of the inspection
The report covers accessible and testable conditions within the written scope. Concealed wiring, inaccessible spaces and equipment that cannot be safely opened remain limitations. Additional testing may be recommended when an observation needs further investigation.
This is not a whole-property code certification and does not guarantee acceptance by an insurer, buyer, lender or authority.
Report and next steps
You receive documented observations, locations and photographs where useful, along with prioritized recommendations. Repairs are scoped separately so you can review the findings before authorizing work.
Commercial facilities seeking recurring care can continue to Commercial Electrical Maintenance. Equipment-specific work is under Electrical Maintenance & Testing.
Does your building need arc-flash labels? Read the guide for background; engineering studies are separately scoped.
Before we get started
Your questions, answered.
Is an electrical safety inspection a code certification?
No. It documents conditions visible and testable within the agreed scope. It does not certify the entire concealed wiring system or guarantee approval by an insurer, buyer, lender or authority.
Will every wall and concealed cable be inspected?
No. The inspection is limited to accessible areas and the tests listed in the scope. Concealed wiring may require further investigation when observations point to a concern.
Does the inspection include repairs?
Repairs are not assumed. We explain the findings and can provide a separate scope and turnkey quote for work you choose to authorize.
