Electrical Inspection

The time has finally come, and you can call yourself a new home owner! There is so much excitement involved in buying a home, but there is also a little nitty gritty that must be taken care of first.

Before you buy a home, You should have an electrical service that is large enough to supply the home and have room for future expansion. The wiring should be grounded and in good working order. The switches and outlets should be inspected to ensure they are in good working order and of the right type.

So much of your home revolves around electricity, which is why it’s so important for your electrical wiring to be completely intact. But there is so much more about electrical safety than just the wiring. Besides your home being up-do-date in terms of safety standards required by the National Electrical Code, here are some things the certified inspector will look for:

  1. Outlets should be grounded, be without cracks and have proper tension
  2. Bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages, and outdoor outlets need specific outlets due to potential exposure to water
  3. If you are buying an older home, is the wiring updated

Moving your family into a new home is a very exciting moment in life, however, safety should come first. It’s important to schedule an electrical inspection so an expert can quickly, yet thoroughly, evaluate your home’s electrical system. Call us for your home service and repair needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an electrical inspection cover?

Our electrical inspection evaluates the main service panel, circuit breakers, wiring type and condition, outlet functionality, GFCI/AFCI protection, grounding, smoke detectors, and overall electrical safety. We identify outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum.

Are older Rochester homes more likely to have electrical issues?

Yes, Rochester has many homes built before modern electrical codes. Common issues in older homes include undersized panels (60-100 amp), outdated wiring, missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, and overloaded circuits.

Do you use thermal imaging for electrical inspections?

Yes, we use FLIR thermal imaging cameras to detect hot spots in electrical panels and wiring that could indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or potential fire hazards that aren't visible to the naked eye.
