The timing of an electrical inspection typically correlates with the age of your building and any impending significant modifications. Opting for an electrical inspection may also be driven by insurance policy mandates or newly developed electrical concerns. Several typical categories are common for those scheduling inspections at their homes:

• If you have a newer home, you should have a professional perform an electrical home inspection every 10 years.
• If you live in a home that’s 25 years old or older, inspections are necessary every three to five years.
• If you own and operate a rental property or are a landlord, you should schedule an electrical inspection between tenants and every three to five years.
• Ideally, you should have us conduct an inspection right after you’ve moved into a new residence or before purchasing a home.
• An inspection is paramount if you undertake an extensive renovation.
• Schedule an inspection if you’re getting ready to install new appliances or if your current appliances were installed over 10 years ago.
