Electrical problems rarely announce themselves. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, missing ground-fault protection and amateur wiring can hide behind walls for years. A safety check finds them while they're still simple to fix.

We walk through your panel, wiring, outlets, switches and protection devices, explain anything we find in plain language, and give you a clear list of what needs attention — and what can wait.

Call an electrician right away if you notice

  • A burning smell, or outlets and switch plates that are warm to the touch
  • Sparks, buzzing or crackling from outlets, switches or the panel
  • Breakers that trip again and again
  • Lights that flicker or dim for no clear reason
  • Outlets that shock you or have stopped working

If you see smoke or fire, get everyone out and call 911 first. Only shut off the main breaker if you can do it safely.

FAQ

Electrical Safety Inspections: common questions

When should I get an electrical safety inspection?

When you buy or sell a home, if your home is more than 40 years old, before adding a major load like an EV charger or hot tub, after storm or water damage, or any time you notice warning signs like warm outlets or frequent breaker trips.

Can you fix the electrical items on my home inspection report?

Yes. Share the electrical section of the report with us and we'll quote the corrections — and make sure they're done to code.

Are two-prong outlets dangerous?

Not automatically, but they don't provide a ground path for surge protectors and three-prong devices. Depending on your home, we can add grounding or install the GFCI protection code allows as a safer alternative.

Do you work on older homes?

Yes. Older homes often have outdated wiring, too few circuits and missing protection. We'll assess what you have and recommend a practical plan to bring it up to today's standards.
