SERVICE OVERVIEW

Having your home’s electrical system inspected is not just a matter of saving money on potential repairs; it’s also a matter of safety. Faulty wiring, electrical failure, and various other issues can pose shock and fire hazards.

Your home inspector is not just going to check to make sure that your electrical panels and outlets are functioning, but also that all wiring, conductors, and receptacles are safe to use.

Safe electrical wiring is essential. Looking for the condition of service entrance wires, service panels, breakers and fuses, and disconnects. Also, taking note of the number of outlets in each room.
