What we check
Panel condition, breaker sizing, grounding and bonding, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, smoke and CO alarm coverage, exterior service condition, sample of outlets and switches, condition of visible wiring, and any DIY red flags. Buyers get an honest read on what needs immediate attention vs cosmetic upgrades.
Written reports insurers accept
Insurance carriers often ask for a 4-point (or full electrical) inspection on homes over 40 years old. We provide a signed, dated report with photos formatted for major insurers.
When to book one
Before closing on any home built before 1980, before renewing a homeowner's policy on an older home, before finalizing a rental license, or any time flickering / breaker trips / burning smells aren't going away.
