Home Electrical Inspection Checklist
With older homes that may have been exposed to a recent rodent infestation or even damage from a storm, it is wise to have the home’s electrical system inspected. A lot can be revealed during an electrical inspection and it can help guarantee a home’s future safety. Most basic electrical inspections include:
• Inspection of all the connections, fuses, and wiring and to make sure there is no damage or exposed wiring.
• Testing of the home’s electrical panel is performed along with accessing the panel’s capacity and its current condition.
• All of the outlets and light switches are inspected.
• The home’s lighting, both interior and exterior, along with the security system is also tested.
Electrical Inspection Report
After the electrician finishes their inspection we will provide a detailed report. This report is essential as it will include any damages or repairs that are needed along with any recommendations such as increasing the home’s capacity, which may no longer meet the needs of modern devices.
Reasons to Get a Home Electrical Inspection
Having your home’s electrical system inspected is important for several reasons. One such reason is that worn, burnt or frayed wires often start electrical fires, which can obviously harm or kill the occupants of a home. For older homes, the house electrical system may not provide enough amperage nor have the capacity for modern appliances and or devices. Insufficient capacity often results in wear of the wiring and eventually electrical fires. Lastly, it can help make the homeowner aware of any damages, outdated electrical systems and what repairs or replacement is necessary to ensure the home’s safety and meet current electrical demands. However it can also help you save money as well. Older electrical systems use a lot more power and cost homeowners more money. Outdated wiring and or electrical systems, if updated, can help save the homeowners more money. Without an inspection, most homeowners never know how much unneeded power is being used.
