How Do Electrical Inspections Work?
Electrical inspections differ from general inspections for construction projects in that they are designed to evaluate the current status of your electrical system, rather than determining what needs to be done to finish a current project. If you are planning to sell your home or property soon, then a general construction inspection may be more helpful, since it will identify whether upgrades are needed to make the property more desirable. An electrical inspection, on the other hand, can help identify problems that may not be visible to a casual observer, and can help ensure that your electrical system is safe and efficient.
Electrical inspections typically include an inspection of:
- The main electrical panel
- All outlets and switches
- All light fixtures
- All security lights and systems
- All environmental controls, such as air conditioning controls
During the inspection, our experienced electricians will thoroughly look at every aspect of your electrical system, from the main electrical panel to the smallest outlets in your home. If any problems are found, we will provide you with a detailed report so that you will know the current status of your electrical system. We will work with you to identify the best solution for addressing any problems that are found, whether it involves repairing a specific component or replacing an aging or defective system completely.
Why Is an Electrical Inspection Important?
It may seem like an electrical inspection is unnecessary unless you are selling your property, but this isn’t the case. An electrical inspection can help identify potential problems that may not be visible to a casual observer and can help ensure that your family is living in a safe environment.
Some of the most common problems that are found during electrical inspections include:
- Damaged components: Electrical components like breakers, outlets, switches, and dimmers can wear out over time, and components that are damaged or corroded will need to be replaced.
- Loose connections: Any electrical system will have a number of wires and connections, and these can get loose over time. If a connection is loose, electricity may arc, creating a serious fire hazard. Our electricians will identify and repair any loose connections.
- Insufficient capacity: Your main electrical panel is the heart of your electrical system, controlling and regulating the flow of electricity to your entire home. If your system is over 50 years old or was not built to withstand the current demanded by modern appliances, appliances, and lighting, your panel may not be able to provide enough power. We can upgrade your panel and wiring to provide you with the electricity you need.
- Old, outdated systems: Electrical systems from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s often use outdated components and systems, and may not be able to handle the power demands of modern homes. If your system is more than 30 years old, we recommend upgrading your system to make it safer and more efficient.
- Excessive electrical loads: If your home has a problem running multiple appliances at once, or you are experiencing brown outs, we can identify and repair the problem quickly, helping prevent potential electrical fires and other hazards.
