Whole-Home Electrical Safety Inspections

Why Schedule an Electrical Safety Inspection?

Electricity is something we all rely on — but rarely think about. A regular inspection ensures your home is protected from the most common electrical dangers.

You should schedule a safety inspection if:

• You live in a home more than 20 years old

• You’ve added or remodeled electrical systems recently

• Breakers trip frequently or outlets feel warm

• You notice flickering lights or burning smells

• You’re buying or selling a home

• You want peace of mind before adding high-load appliances or EV chargers

Our inspections uncover hidden problems before they cause damage or danger.

What We Check During an Inspection

Our licensed electricians follow a detailed inspection checklist that covers every major component of your electrical system.

We evaluate:

• Main service panel condition and amperage rating

• Breaker function and labeling accuracy

• Proper grounding and bonding

• GFCI and AFCI protection in required locations

• Wiring integrity and junction box connections

• Outlet and switch condition

• Lighting fixtures and ceiling fan safety

• Smoke and CO detector wiring

• Outdoor circuits and weatherproofing

• Surge protection and voltage stability

Afterward, you’ll receive a written inspection report outlining findings, recommendations, and any repairs needed to bring your system up to code.

Homeowner's Commonly Discover

During inspections, we often find:

• Double-tapped breakers

• Overloaded circuits

• Outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring

• Loose neutral connections

• Improperly grounded outlets

• Non-GFCI protected kitchen and bathroom receptacles

Catching these early prevents shocks, fire hazards, and costly emergency calls.

Code & Compliance Assurance

Every inspection is completed according to:

• Wisconsin State Electrical Code

• National Electrical Code (NEC)

• NFPA 70E Safety Standards

• OSHA 1910 Residential Requirements

We ensure your system meets modern code — and provide documentation you can use for home sales, insurance, or remodel permits.

When to Get an Inspection

• Before purchasing or selling a home – Avoid surprise repairs and ensure compliance.

• Before remodeling or adding circuits – Confirm your system can safely handle added loads.

• After storm damage or flooding – Check for moisture and wiring damage.

• Every 3-5 years – For ongoing safety and preventive maintenance.

Think of it as a routine health check-up for your home’s electrical system.
