NEC is the standard for any electrician that evaluates your property, and sets the rules on minimum standards throughout the country. Once your home electrical system has been fully inspected, our electrician will give you a complete checklist. It will outline the aspects that require immediate fixes, improvement recommendations, and opportunities to upgrade your system.

When Do You Need an Electrical Safety Inspection?

Quite often homeowners are guilty of ignoring prevention methods that are outlined in various regulations for different types of electrical installations. There may be scenarios where you are left confused as to how the official inspector failed your electrical inspection. There are quite a few different ways you can fail an electrical inspection that homeowners ignore or simply aren’t aware of. To gain a better understanding of these “loopholes” abused by contractors, you must read up on electrical inspections.

There’s a few specific moments when it is crucial for a homeowner to request an electrical safety home inspection. The ESF, or Electrical Safety Foundation, suggests that property owners schedule an electrical inspection at the following points:

Major renovations completed
Purchasing/Owning a home 40+ years old

Why is Residential Electrical Inspection Important?

There are several important reasons why having an electrical inspection performed is necessary. Here are some of the more typical ones:

Electrical shocks – Envision casually touching an electrified appliance and getting an electrical current coursing through you. While this might not be life-threatening, it can lead to other disastrous effects. Beyond possible personal pain, the appliance can be completely broken. A preemptive electrical inspection could identify and fix these wiring issues before those situations occur.

Surge protection – Depending on the region, this can be a frequent occurrence, especially with storms. An electrical surge can result in shorted circuits or damaged appliances. An electrical inspector will be able to identify and check wiring throughout your house that may lead to this problem.

Electrical fires – Quite often an electrical short circuit is responsible for house fires. Loose wires or cables can be reviewed and pointed out by a formal electrical inspection and the inspector will provide you with options to fix them.
