Electrical Inspection

Protect Your Property with Certified Electrical Inspections

Electrical inspections are critical evaluations that ensure your home or business’s electrical system operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with current electrical codes. Whether you’re buying a property, completing renovations, or maintaining an aging building, our certified electrical inspectors provide thorough assessments that protect your investment and, most importantly, your safety.

What Is an Electrical Inspection?
An electrical inspection is a comprehensive examination of your entire electrical system, from the service entrance to the last outlet. Our licensed inspectors evaluate wiring, panels, outlets, grounding systems, and all electrical components to identify hazards, code violations, and potential failure points before they become dangerous problems.

  • New construction: Multiple inspections throughout the building process
  • Finished basements: Ensure new circuits meet code requirements
