When to Schedule an Electrical Inspection

We recommend scheduling an electrical inspection in several situations, such as the following: 

• During real estate transactions: Before buying a property, you want to be certain its electrical system is up-to-date and hazard-free. A professional inspection is a surefire way to uncover issues before closing a deal.
• After a major renovation or addition: If you have completed a major renovation or added to your property, it is beneficial for an electrician to assess the new electrical additions and make sure they are properly integrated with your existing system. 
• Experiencing electrical problems: Should you notice flickering lights, circuit breakers that trip too frequently, or other signs of trouble, an electrical inspection can allow you to get to the bottom of things.

Tips for Preparing for Your Electrical Inspection

Preparing for your electrical inspection can help streamline the process and ensure that you get the most out of your appointment. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

• Clear Access: Ensure all areas around the electrical panel, outlets, and fixtures are accessible. This includes removing any furniture, decorations, or obstacles that may hinder the inspector's ability to perform a thorough assessment.
• Document Concerns: Write down any specific electrical issues you’ve noticed, such as flickering lights, tripped breakers, or unusual sounds from outlets. This documentation will help the inspector understand your concerns and focus on those areas during the inspection.
• Be Present: If possible, be available during the inspection to ask questions and understand any findings. This also allows you to receive immediate explanations about potential issues and recommended solutions.
• Review Electrical History: If you have any past records of electrical work done on your property, including previous inspections or repairs, gather these documents. Sharing this information with your inspector can provide valuable context.
• Test Smoke Alarms and GFCI Outlets: Check that smoke detectors and GFCI outlets are functioning correctly before the inspection. This proactive step can save time and demonstrate your commitment to safety.
• Inform the Inspector of Renovations: If you have recently completed renovations or additions to your property, inform the inspector. This information is essential for assessing the integration of new electrical work with existing systems.
• Ask for a Walkthrough: At the end of the inspection, request a brief walkthrough of your property with the inspector. This allows you to see firsthand any identified issues and understand the recommended repairs or upgrades.
