How much does an electrical inspection cost? Our basic electrical inspection costs $250 and typically takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. This covers visually examining and testing all accessible parts of your home's service panel, branch circuits, and major appliances. For larger homes, the price range is typically from $300 to $500, depending on the electrical system's size, age, and condition. |
How often do you need an electrical inspection?
An electrical inspection is recommended at least once every 5 to 7 years. This ensures potential problems are caught before they become major electrical issues that are dangerous and costly to repair. An inspection is also a good idea if purchasing an existing home or making major renovations that involve the electrical system. An immediate inspection is warranted if you notice flickering lights, outlets that are warm to the touch, or recurring circuit breaker trips.
What does an electrical inspection entail?
During our inspection, our certified electrical technicians will visually examine all accessible electrical system parts, including your electrical panel, wiring, switches, outlets, and light fixtures. We will test the function of GFCI outlets and ensure proper grounding is in place. We'll also use electrical testing equipment to check for reverse polarity, open neutral wires, high-resistance connections, and more. Our detailed inspection report will note any deficiencies or code violations identified during the visual exam or diagnostic testing.
What problems are detectable during an inspection?
Some of the common electrical issues we can detect include corroded or loose wire connections, damaged or undersized wiring, improper installation of circuits and outlets, inappropriate wire splicing, missing or lost neutral connections, the reversed polarity of outlets and light fixtures, and problems in the main service panel or subpanels.
While not every issue will require immediate repair, our report will note any deficiencies and recommend further evaluation of serious problems by a licensed electrician. Getting an inspection regularly can detect simple trouble areas before they develop into fire risks or malfunctions that damage essential appliances or electronics.
Our comprehensive electrical inspection provides peace of mind to know if your home's electrical system is up to code and functioning properly. We use the latest diagnostic equipment and follow all relevant electrical safety standards to deliver accurate, trustworthy results. Our goal is to identify potential hazards, recommend necessary repairs and give you the information you need to make informed electrical safety decisions for your home.
