Licensed & Insured Home Electrical Inspections

An electrical inspection can help you understand the visible condition of a home's electrical system before a purchase, insurance review, remodel or major equipment addition.

• Buying a home. Follow up on electrical concerns raised during a general home inspection and understand the cost of recommended work.
• Insurance. An insurer may ask for electrical information, often as part of a 4-point inspection.
• An older home. An inspection can identify visible issues such as worn breakers, missing grounds or smoke detectors that need attention.
• Before adding a major load. An EV charger, pool, generator or new air conditioner depends on the electrical system and panel capacity.
• After storm or water damage. Have visible water intrusion or suspected surge damage checked before relying on affected circuits.

If you smell burning, feel heat at an outlet or panel, see sparks, or a breaker will not reset, call an electrician right away instead of waiting for a routine inspection.

• Panel and breakers. The panel's condition, visible water or heat damage, breaker fit, wiring and double-tapped connections.
• Service and meter. The visible meter equipment, service mast or underground feed, and main disconnect.
• Grounding and bonding. Visible ground connections, water-pipe bonding and pool or spa bonding where present.
• GFCI and AFCI protection. GFCI devices in common wet and outdoor areas and AFCI breakers where installed.
• Outlets and switches. A sample for wiring, grounding and loose or visibly damaged devices.
• Visible wiring and smoke detectors. Accessible wiring in the attic, garage and panel, plus detector age, power and placement.

We do not open finished walls. Hidden wiring is assessed from visible conditions at outlets, switches, the panel and accessible areas.

After the inspection, you receive written findings with urgent items listed first. The electrician points out visible hazards and provides a flat-rate price for recommended work. You can address urgent items now, plan other work or share the findings with a seller or insurance agent. Repairs are your choice and are not done without your approval.

If the findings point to a new panel or rewiring, see panel upgrades and rewiring. Smaller issues such as a worn breaker or a GFCI concern may be handled through electrical repair.

Plan for someone to provide access to the panel, attic, garage and any locked electrical or pool equipment areas. For a home purchase, share your inspection deadline when you schedule.

An insurer may ask about the electrical panel and wiring on an older home. If you have received a deficiency notice, an inspection can help clarify the visible condition and the work recommended. Ask your agent what report they need, since each insurer sets its own requirements.

Room additions, garage conversions and kitchen remodels can involve new wiring and additional electrical load. ACE can review the visible system and explain the electrical work and permits that apply to the requested scope. The building department's inspector has the final word on permitted work.
