Thorough Inspection, Clear Results

Our electrical safety inspection typically takes one to two hours and covers every part of your home’s electrical system. We start with your main electrical panel, checking for proper installation, adequate capacity, and any signs of overheating or damage.

Next, we test outlets and switches throughout your home, verify GFCI protection in bathrooms and kitchens, and inspect visible wiring for damage or code violations. We also examine your grounding system, light fixtures, and any hardwired appliances.

After completing the inspection, we provide you with a detailed written report. This document explains our findings in plain language, prioritizes any issues we discover, and gives you clear recommendations.

Most electrical safety experts recommend having your home’s electrical system inspected every three to five years if your home is over 25 years old. However, you should schedule an inspection sooner if you notice warning signs like flickering lights, burning smells, warm outlets, or circuit breakers that trip frequently.You should also have an inspection when you buy a home, before major renovations, or if you’re adding high-power appliances like electric vehicle chargers or hot tubs. Many insurance companies and mortgage lenders also require electrical inspections for older homes.Given Bedford’s hot summers and the stress they put on electrical systems, we often recommend more frequent inspections for homes built before 1980. The investment in regular inspections is minimal compared to the cost of electrical fires or emergency repairs.
