What is an 'Electrical Home Inspection' ?
Sometimes electricity seems like magic, you don't see it with your eyes or hear it. But when it stops working we sure notice quickly! Electrical home inspections are simply a full diagnostic and checkup of your entire electrical system. Similar to a motor vehicle inspection or even your yearly checkup with the family doctor, your home's electrical is just as important.
Although they are very important for home safety, most homeowners have no idea they are required, but just like anything else that's dangerous your electrical system should be inspected annually or at minimum every 2-3 years depending on the age of the home. Homes older than 10 - 20 years old should be inspected at least once a year as they are built with less stringent code and pose a larger risk for electrical fires.
