Electrical Inspection

Cost depends on the size of the home, the age of the wiring and panel, and whether you need a general safety check or a more detailed home sale inspection. Older homes with outdated wiring types or multiple subpanels usually take more time to go through. We can give you a free quote once we know a bit about the property.

It depends on the size of the home and how much needs to be checked. We'll give you an idea of timing when we set up your visit, and let you know if any recommended repairs would need a permit.

An inspection itself doesn't usually require a permit since no electrical work is being performed. If the inspection turns up issues that need correcting, such as an outdated panel or ungrounded circuits, any permitted repair work would need to meet current code and may require a permit depending on scope.

A homeowner can spot obvious warning signs like warm outlets, flickering lights, or a burning smell, but a full inspection involves opening the panel, testing circuits, and checking connections that aren't safe or practical to handle without training. A licensed electrician can also tell you whether something needs repair or full replacement, which isn't always obvious from the outside.

We'll walk you through what we found, explain why it matters, and recommend next steps. Some issues are minor fixes, while others, like an old Federal Pacific panel or aluminum wiring, are safety concerns worth addressing sooner rather than later. You decide what to act on and when.

An inspection identifies and documents issues; it doesn't include fixing them. If we find something during the visit, like a loose connection or missing GFCI protection, we can quote the repair separately so you know the cost before deciding how to proceed.
