What an Electrical Inspection Covers
Every home is different, but a standard inspection typically includes:
Electrical panel condition, labeling, and visible terminations
Visible wiring condition and signs of overheating or damage
Grounding and bonding (including key connections)

If you have a specific reason for the inspection (insurance request, sale, renovation, persistent tripping), we tailor the focus to what you actually need.
