Our Home Electrical Inspection Service

Despite how easy it is to forget about electrical safety inspections, regular system checks are extremely important. In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical problems are the primary cause of property damage in home structure fires across the U.S. In addition, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) identifies small appliances plugged into inadequate or improper wiring as the leading cause of accidental electrocutions. These safety hazards can be easily addressed and prevented with an home electrical safety inspection.

Our Electrical Safety Inspections Process

Mr. Electric has conducted thousands of electrical safety inspections, prioritizing safety and meticulous attention to detail every step of the way. When you schedule an appointment with us, you can expect a thorough assessment of your home's electrical components.

We cover all critical areas of your electrical system, including your electrical panel, light switches, and more. We check for GFCI issues, insufficient grounding, service panel concerns, unsafe appliance connections, and the presence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Our team will also identify hazardous connections, such as improper splices, frayed wires, or exposed wiring.

If you’re planning renovations like a basement refinishing, room addition, or the installation of major appliances such as a pool or hot tub, an electrical panel inspection is essential. We also recommend scheduling an inspection before purchasing an electric vehicle and installing a charger, especially in older homes.

Signs You Need an Electrical Inspection>

Electrical issues can develop gradually and often go unnoticed until they pose serious risks. Noticing the warning signs can help ensure your home's safety and keep your appliances running efficiently. If you experience any of the following red flags, it’s time to consider an electrical inspection.

Your Electric Costs are Rising

Noticing an increase in your electric bill without increased usage? Rising electric costs could indicate that it's time for an electrical inspection. An abnormally hefty electric bill often indicates underlying issues, such as outdated wiring or faulty appliances drawing excessive power. Catching these problems early on can help you prevent more costly repairs in the future.

Your Lights are Dimming or Flickering

Dimming or flickering lights aren't just a headache—they can point toward potential electrical problems. These fluctuations in your lighting might be a result of overloaded circuits, faulty connections, or failing fixtures. Ignoring these issues could lead to short circuits or electrical fires. Scheduling an inspection will help pinpoint the cause and ensure your lighting system is stable and working as it should.

There are Burning Smells from Electric Components

Burning smells from electrical outlets, switches, or appliances often indicate overheating wires or components, posing a significant fire risk. If you detect a burning smell, turn off power to the affected area immediately and call a qualified electrician for an inspection.
