How Often Do You Need an Electrical Inspection?

It’s never too early to schedule your next electrical inspection, especially if you’re unsure when the last one was done. Generally, we recommend scheduling an electrical inspection every three to five years.

There are caveats to this guideline. If any of the following apply, then there’s no time like the present to schedule an inspection to ensure the safety of your home and reliability of your electrical system:

• Buying or selling a home
• Installing a new large appliance (i.e., refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, freezer, EV charging station, hot tub, etc.)
• The home is 40+ years old and may have aluminum or other substandard wiring
• Preparing for a home renovation/remodel
• As part of scheduled electrical work
• Previous repairs have failed to correct defects and faults

Signs You Need an Electrical Inspection

Electrical systems are inherently hazardous, and it’s imperative to pay close attention to the operation of the lights, outlets, appliances, and electronics in your home. Often, you can detect signs of critical electrical faults that require immediate attention.

If you spot any of these, we recommend scheduling an electrical inspection right away:

• Smoke or sparks coming from outlets
• Outlets that are hot to the touch
• Flickering lights
• Frequently tripped breakers
• Diminished appliance performance
• Buzzing/humming sounds
• Scorch marks around outlets or sockets
• Visible corrosion on electrical panels or wiring
• Melted or discolored wiring

What’s Involved in an Inspection?

Our electrical inspections are customized to meet your needs and uncover home safety issues. Our primary focus is ensuring your home’s electrical systems are code-compliant and won’t endanger your health or the safety of your home. The duration of the inspection depends on the home’s size and age and the electrical system’s complexity. We can provide a rough estimate of the expected duration when we schedule the inspection.

During an electrical inspection, our licensed and insured electricians will perform a wide range of checks and tests. We’ll check grounding, test your electrical panel, verify GFCI and AFCI protection, search for signs of aluminum wiring, test switches/outlets, and look for signs of common wiring mistakes or hazards.

At the end of the inspection, we’ll provide a detailed summary itemizing any issues we found and discuss any required corrective actions. Our electricians can repair and correct your outlets, sockets, electrical panels, and more.
