What to Expect From an Electrical Inspection 

The components of the electrical system in your home are under constant strain from the electrical current and continual use. As with any system or equipment in your home, electrical system components can wear out with age or become damaged by power surges, overloaded circuits, storms, and faulty electronics or appliances. A home electrical inspection provides a comprehensive evaluation of the components of the system to ensure that everything is working safely and up to code. 

During an electrical inspection, your electrician will check the: 

• Condition of the electrical wiring 
• Function of all outlets and switches
• Grounding elements 
• Surge protection 
• Electrical panel and circuits 

Some of the common problems found during electrical inspections include dangerous wiring, overloaded circuits, insufficient capacity in the electrical panel, and ungrounded outlets. Older homes were constructed at a time when electrical safety codes weren’t as strict. In some cases, older homes have unsafe wiring, outdated electrical panels, and outlets that are not properly grounded. These issues can cause potential safety risks that could lead to electrical shock or fires. 

After the electrical inspection has been completed, your electrician will provide you with a detailed report with information about the overall condition of the system and specific problems. The information in the report can help you make important decisions about purchasing a property or planning a renovation. Your electrician can perform any necessary repairs or upgrades to bring your system up to current codes to ensure your safety.
