- THE HOME INSPECTION SQUAD
Ensure your property's electrical system operates safely and efficiently with professional electrical inspection from The Home Inspection Squad. Our certified inspectors evaluate wiring, panels, circuits, and components to identify hazards, code violations, and performance issues. Protect your property and occupants from electrical fires, shocks, and power failures with expert assessment you can trust.
Electrical systems power modern life but pose serious risks when improperly installed, maintained, or outdated. Our electrical inspection services provide thorough evaluation of residential and commercial electrical infrastructure to ensure safe, reliable operation. We examine service panels and breakers, wiring and cable systems, outlets and switches, lighting fixtures and controls, grounding and bonding systems, and GFCI and AFCI protection. This service supports homebuyers verifying electrical safety before purchase, property owners maintaining aging systems, landlords ensuring tenant safety and compliance, and businesses preventing operational disruptions.
Electrical problems cause thousands of fires annually and create shock hazards that threaten lives. Outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, improper installations, and lack of safety devices contribute to these dangers. A professional home electrical inspection identifies these risks before they cause injury, property damage, or costly emergency repairs. Understanding electrical conditions protects your investment and ensures everyone’s safety.
We begin by reviewing your electrical concerns, property age, and recent modifications. Our inspector identifies the service capacity, panel type, and overall system configuration. This initial assessment helps us understand your electrical infrastructure and focus on areas most likely to present safety or performance issues.
Our certified inspectors thoroughly examine your electrical panel for proper sizing and capacity, breaker condition and compatibility, correct labeling and organization, and signs of overheating or damage. We test circuits for proper grounding, verify breaker operation, and check for aluminum wiring connections. The circuit and panel inspection reveals hidden dangers that often go unnoticed.
We evaluate visible wiring throughout the property checking for damaged or deteriorated insulation, improper splices or connections, outdated wiring types, and correct wire sizing for circuit loads. All accessible outlets undergo testing for correct polarity, proper grounding, GFCI protection in required locations, and secure connections. We identify shock hazards and fire risks that compromise safety.
Modern electrical code compliance inspection requires specific safety devices in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. We verify GFCI protection where water is present, AFCI protection in living areas, proper grounding throughout the system, and emergency lighting where required. We note code violations that create liability or fail to meet current safety standards.
Within 24 hours, you receive a comprehensive report documenting all findings with clear photographs, descriptions of identified hazards, priority ratings from immediate safety concerns to maintenance items, and specific recommendations for repairs or upgrades. Our electrical system inspection report helps electricians understand needed work and supports informed decisions.
Electrical malfunctions cause approximately 50,000 home fires annually, resulting in deaths, injuries, and millions in property damage. Faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper installations create heat that ignites surrounding materials. Our electrical safety inspection identifies fire hazards including overloaded circuits, damaged insulation exposing conductors, improper connections creating resistance and heat, and missing safety devices. Early detection prevents tragedy and protects everyone who enters your property.
Electrical systems must meet National Electrical Code standards and local regulations. Non-compliant systems create insurance complications, sale obstacles, and legal liability. Our inspections document code violations that require correction, helping you address issues before they affect insurance coverage or property transfers. Compliance protects you from fines, lawsuits, and claim denials after electrical incidents.
Inadequate electrical capacity causes frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, and inability to operate modern appliances. Our inspection evaluates whether your system meets current demands and can handle planned additions. We identify undersized service panels, overloaded circuits, and distribution problems that affect daily operations. This information guides upgrades that improve reliability and support modern electrical needs.
Electrical problems typically worsen over time, creating progressively more expensive repairs. Minor issues like loose connections evolve into panel replacements. Our inspection catches problems early when repairs cost less and prevent emergency service calls at premium rates. For property buyers, inspection findings support negotiation for repairs or price adjustments that offset correction costs.
Our team includes inspectors with specialized electrical training and certifications who understand residential and commercial electrical systems thoroughly. Years of experience evaluating diverse properties means we recognize subtle signs of problems that general inspectors might overlook. We stay current with electrical code changes and emerging safety standards through continuing education.
Visual inspection alone misses many electrical hazards. We utilize professional testing tools including circuit analyzers that verify proper wiring, voltage testers confirming safe levels, infrared cameras detecting hot spots indicating problems, and GFCI testers ensuring protection devices function correctly. This equipment provides accurate assessment that protects you from hidden dangers.
Electrical issues can seem complex and intimidating. Our reports explain findings in plain language that property owners and contractors understand easily. We categorize issues by severity, distinguish between safety hazards and maintenance items, provide specific locations for each problem, and include photographs showing actual conditions. This clarity helps you prioritize repairs and communicate effectively with electricians.
The Home Inspection Squad serves both residential and commercial clients with electrical inspection services tailored to each property type. We understand the different requirements, systems, and code standards that apply to homes versus businesses. Whether you need home electrical inspection for a purchase or commercial electrical inspection for your business property, we deliver thorough assessment that addresses your specific situation.
A typical residential electrical inspection requires one to three hours depending on property size, system complexity, and number of circuits. Commercial properties or homes with multiple panels require additional time. We never rush through inspections because thorough evaluation protects your safety and investment.
We frequently find insufficient GFCI and AFCI protection, aluminum wiring requiring special connections, outdated panels with insufficient capacity, improper grounding or missing ground wires, and damaged wiring insulation creating shock hazards. Many properties have combinations of these issues requiring correction.
Some testing requires temporarily shutting off circuits or main power. We coordinate with property occupants to minimize disruption and typically complete testing within minutes. We inform you beforehand if extensive shutdown will be necessary for thorough evaluation.
Absolutely. Many buyers include electrical inspections as part of their due diligence process, either during general home inspection or as a separate specialized evaluation. We coordinate with real estate agents and work within transaction timelines to deliver reports when needed for negotiations and closing decisions.
We typically accommodate electrical inspection requests within 48-72 hours, often sooner for urgent situations. Contact us as early as possible to secure your preferred time slot and ensure timely report delivery for your decision-making needs.
Whether you’re purchasing property, maintaining your home or business, or concerned about electrical performance, professional electrical inspection provides essential insights about system safety and reliability.
