Here's What We Actually Check

We start at your electrical panel—the heart of your home’s electrical system. We check for proper labeling, adequate capacity, signs of overheating, and any code violations that could spell trouble.

Next comes outlet testing throughout your house, including GFCI protection in wet areas. We examine visible wiring for damage, test grounding systems, and evaluate whether your electrical service can handle your family’s actual power needs.

You get a detailed written report explaining everything we found in plain English. We walk through it with you, answer your questions, and help you understand what matters most for your family’s safety and your wallet.

What You Actually Get

Your inspection covers every part of your electrical system we can safely access—electrical panel evaluation, outlet testing, GFCI functionality, grounding verification, load capacity assessment, and code compliance review.

Most home electrical inspections take 2-3 hours, depending on your house size and electrical complexity. We don’t rush because thoroughness matters when your family’s safety is on the line.During the inspection, we’re evaluating your electrical panel, testing every outlet we can reach, examining visible wiring, and checking your home’s overall electrical capacity. Larger homes or properties with sub-panels naturally take longer.We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when scheduling and call if we’re running behind. You’re welcome to follow along during the inspection—many homeowners find it educational to learn about their electrical system.
Outdated electrical panels top the list, especially in homes built before 1990. These panels handled the electrical loads fine when installed, but today’s families use significantly more electricity than previous generations.GFCI outlet problems are extremely common, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where water and electricity create serious safety risks. We also frequently discover improperly grounded outlets, overloaded circuits, and DIY electrical work that violates current codes.North Texas weather adds another layer of complexity. Our severe storms, high winds, and occasional ice storms can damage service connections and cause wiring problems in attics and exterior electrical components.

Standard home inspections cover basic electrical components but miss the detailed problems that licensed electrical contractors catch.We identify undersized panels, dangerous wiring connections, code violations, and fire hazards that general inspectors often overlook. These problems can cost thousands to fix, and you’ll have no recourse once you own the house.An electrical inspection gives you negotiating leverage with sellers and helps you budget for necessary repairs. It’s particularly crucial for homes over 20 years old or any property where you notice flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or non-functioning outlets.
Residential electrical inspections typically range from $200-400, depending on your home’s size and electrical complexity.

Safety problems get top priority—these are conditions that could cause fires or electrocution if ignored.For immediate safety concerns, we can often provide same-day repairs if you choose to proceed. Less urgent items can be scheduled at your convenience, and we’ll help you understand which repairs matter most for your budget and timeline.Your detailed written report explains everything we found, recommended solutions, and estimated repair costs. We never pressure you into immediate decisions—take time to review the report and ask questions about anything that’s unclear.

Homes over 25 years old benefit from more frequent inspections.You should also schedule inspections after major electrical work, severe storm damage, or before significant home renovations. Adding high-power appliances or electric vehicle charging stations may require electrical system evaluation.If your home has never been professionally inspected, or you’re unsure when it was last checked, don’t wait. Electrical systems deteriorate gradually, and problems often develop slowly over years before becoming obvious to homeowners.
