Keeping your home’s electrical system in excellent condition is important. During an electrical home inspection, we thoroughly inspect and examine all circuits, wiring, outlets, and other components of the system to make sure they meet current safety standards. Ampere Electric offers electrical inspections at residential and commercial properties.

When Do I Need an Electrical Inspection?

An electrical inspection should be performed when you are buying or selling a home, adding an appliance, are planning or have completed a major renovation, or if your home or business building is over 40 years old. By keeping your electrical system functioning optimally, you and your family or guests are safe. 

An electrical inspection has several steps. These include:

• Inspect all the wiring to ensure all your electrical components are safe
• Inspect circuit breakers 
• Check the condition of switches and outlets
• Identify any errors made by previous electricians or contractors so they can be corrected
• Detect any fire hazards
• Make sure you have GFCI outlets in all appropriate locations
• Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
• Examine all outdoor wiring and components
• Issue a detailed report on your system and describe what needs upgrading or repair
