Frequently asked questions
How long does an electrical safety inspection take?
Most residential inspections take approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the home and the accessibility of electrical components.
Can you inspect a home before I buy it?
Yes. An electrical inspection can provide valuable information about the condition of a home's electrical system before you complete your purchase.
Do I receive a written report?
We provide a summary of our findings and discuss any recommendations with you. If you need documentation for a specific purpose, let us know during scheduling so we can discuss your needs.
What if you find a problem?
We'll explain our findings, answer your questions, and provide recommendations. You're under no obligation to complete repairs with us.
Will power need to be turned off?
Most inspections can be completed without interrupting power. If a specific test requires power to be disconnected briefly, we'll explain it beforehand.
Is an inspection the same as a home inspection?
No. A home inspection covers many parts of the house. An electrical safety inspection focuses specifically on the home's electrical system and provides a more detailed evaluation of accessible electrical components.
Do you inspect older homes?
Yes. Older homes are often excellent candidates for an electrical safety inspection because wiring methods and equipment may differ from current standards.
How often should I have my electrical system inspected?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all schedule, but inspections are worth considering when purchasing a home, completing renovations, or if your home is older or showing signs of electrical problems.
