Mr. Electric of Austin offers National Electrical Code (NEC) inspections. The NEC is the universal guide we use to test your electrical system. We inspect your wires, electrical system, and all components to ensure they are safe and legal. After we inspect your home’s electrical system, our electricians will provide you with a detailed list of our inspection findings.
Electrical safety inspections help avoid fires and shocks caused by faulty electrical systems. According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), small appliances that are plugged into improper wiring are the leading cause of accidental electrical shocks. Our qualified service professionals are highly trained to find any problems and determine if you need a repair or upgrade. Whether you have flickering lights or tripped breakers, we can find the root cause of the problem. We believe in the critical need for routine electrical safety inspections to help avoid disasters caused by electrical hazards.

Mr. Electric of Austin recommends electrical safety inspections to protect your property from electrical hazards. Some of the other significant benefits of an electrical safety inspection include the following:
- Can identify common electrical mistakes made in the past
- Helps ensure all electrical components are working correctly
- Offers potential energy-saving costs
- Locates any outdated or degraded wiring
- Identifies oversized or undersized fuses or breakers
- Inspects for any electrical upgrade needs
During our comprehensive electrical safety inspection, we follow our electrical safety checklist to ensure we find any issues. Some of the most common electrical safety issues we find include:
- Exposed Wires – Any areas with exposed wires can shock you or start a fire.
- Ungrounded Outlets – An ungrounded outlet can cause electric shock.
- Painted Outlets – When an outlet plug has been painted over, the outlet may overheat.
- Improperly Modified Panels – Improperly modified panels may cause overheating, flickering lights, or hot spots.
- Double-Tapping of Circuit Breakers – You are at a greater risk of a fire if you put two or more live wires into your circuit breaker.
- Grounding – It is important that your home has a functioning grounding system to ensure the safe operation of your electrical system
- Surge Protection – Multi-layered surge protection will protect your home’s valuable electronics and reduce stress on your appliances
- Outdated Wiring – Knob-and-tube wiring is often found in older homes built before 1950 and does not have proper protection from faults. Aluminum wiring is often found in homes that were built in the 1960s and 1970s and quickly overheats.
- Lack of GFCIs – Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), by law, must be placed in areas with moisture.
