Get Peace of Mind with an Electrical System Inspection
Over time, wiring can deteriorate, circuit breakers can become outdated, and hidden issues like overloaded circuits or faulty outlets can pose fire hazards. An inspection is especially important in older homes, after major renovations, or before purchasing a new property. It helps identify potential problems before they become costly or dangerous and ensures the home complies with current electrical codes. Ultimately, having an electrical system inspection can give you confidence in your home’s safety and value.
Some of the signs we look out for include:
- Unusual sounds or smells associated with certain electrical appliances or circuits
- Lights dimming when items or systems turn on
- Discoloration of outlets
- Electrical cords that seem in good condition but are hot to the touch
This is just a handful of the many small symptoms that can signal to us that there’s an electrical issue. If you have noticed anything unusual when it comes to your electrical system, be sure to let our electrician know when we come out to inspect your system.
What to Expect from a Whole-Home Electrical System Inspection
During the inspection, our electricians inspect all visually accessible wiring for signs of aging, deterioration, loose wiring connections (if we can tighten them, we will), discoloration, potential code and safety issues, proper support for all wiring and electrical conduit, and more.
We also spend a good amount of time inspecting your home’s electrical service panel. Also know as the circuit breaker panel, electrical panel, or load center, this is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It’s where electricity from the utility company enters the home and is then distributed to various circuits. Your service panel manages the flow of electricity to various circuits in the home, and will automatically shut off specific circuits if there’s an overload.
When our team performs an electrical system inspection, we provide a thorough inspection of your electrical panel, including looking for overloaded circuits, inspecting and testing breakers, checking the panel and breaker connections for signs of damage or corrosion, and more.

Additional Things We Review During Our Inspection Include:
- Inspect the electrical service panel for signs of age, deterioration, loose or unsafe wiring, scorch/hot spots, and more
- Remove all breaker switches and inspect the busbar (the main electricity conducting part of the panel), as well as the connections on the breakers
- Test all breaker switches to ensure they’re switching properly
- Check to make sure the home’s electrical system is properly grounded
- Inspect any subpanels that may be connected to the system (not always located near the main panel), including places such as workshops, detached structures, and more
- Inspect outdoor power disconnect switches for any AC or heat pump systems, as well as any appliances such as hot tubs, saunas, radon systems, standby generators, and more
- Check all wiring located in mechanical area
We also recognize that not every electrical system or home has the same setup. If present, our team will also inspect EV charging stations, whole-house or specific circuit electrical surge protectors, whole-house fans, and more.
During the inspection, our electrician will make several notes about their findings, including the age and condition of many different electrical components. They’ll also provide a list of prioritized recommendations. Ultimately, we’re there to help you make an informed decision about your home and feel confident in your home’s electrical condition. We take our time to explain our recommendations, as well as fully and patiently answer any questions you have. If we spot any issues that could lead to costly repairs, or any health or safety red flags, we’ll let you know—without pressuring you to authorize any work.
Additional Safety Features We Inspect
On top of the standard electrical system features, we also use this opportunity to check all the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. This includes checking their age and condition, and making sure you have enough throughout your home (and in proper locations) to keep your home safe and alert you if needed. Smoke detectors have a lifetime of about 10 years, while CO detectors last around 5 to 7 years before needing to be replaced. Some units require periodic battery replacement, while others may be powered by ‘lifetime’ lithium batteries that last as long as the detector.
