When is an electrical inspection most essential? This is a question often asked. It is always good to have your electrical system inspected from time to time. However, there are times when you want to have the electrical system inspected. Before making any major investment in a home or building, it is a good idea to have the electrical system thoroughly inspected. Simon Electric will elaborate and share when is the best time to have the electrical system professionally inspected.
Electrical Inspection Before Buying a House
Before buying a home you should always have the home’s electrical system inspected. Buying a home is both a major investment and a long term commitment. Home electrical wiring may seem in perfecting working order when you look at a home. However, over time, more and more problems can begin to reveal itself. Especially when looking into buying a home that is 15 years or older, the wiring could have been damaged, or developed loose connections. To ensure you’re not buying a home with expensive electrical problems, it is recommended to get the home inspected before you make the final decision to buy any home.
Insurance Companies Can Request an Electrical Inspection
Home’s that are 30 years old or older, may require an electrical inspection by your insurance company. Insurance companies often request an electrical inspection after so many years. This will ensure that the home is not in any potential danger. They obviously want to avoid claims such as electrical fire damages. To prevent an increase of premiums, or risk your insurance company dropping your policy, it is good to get the inspection done. If any problems do come up, it is important to see that the electrical system is repaired, or in some cases replaced, for modern systems.
Electrical Inspection Before Remodel or Renovation
Before you begin remodeling or renovations on your home, you should get the electrical system inspected. First you will want to make sure your current electrical system is adequate for the addition or changes to the home you want to make. Additionally, if there is any issues or damage during renovations, it is the perfect time to repair the electrical system. You may even want to consider upgrading your system. In order to improve your current system, you will need to know what is currently inside your home and what will be needed to upgrade the system. This will depend on the age of the home. The older the home, the more likely you will need or want an electrical upgrade.
Preventive Maintenance Electrical Inspections
A home electrical system is essential for modern living. However, if neglected an electrical system can become dangerous. You don’t need an overwhelming reason to get your home electrical system inspected. If you feel that enough time has passed, and you want to ensure the safety of your home and those inside, don’t hesitate to have your home’s electrical system inspected.
