Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs
How long does an inspection take?
Most homes take 60–90 minutes, depending on access and panel size.
Will you open walls or ceilings?
No. Inspections are non-destructive. If we suspect a concealed hazard, we’ll explain targeted options.
Do I need a permit for an inspection?
No. Permits apply to installation/repair work, not the inspection itself. We’ll pull permits if you choose listed corrections that require them.
Can you fix issues during the visit?
Many minor corrections (e.g., swap GFCI, repair terminations) can be done same day with your approval. Larger scopes are scheduled promptly.
Is this a pass/fail?
We provide a professional report with priorities. If you need a real-estate/insurance letter, tell us up front so we format it to their requirements.
Do you check smoke and CO alarms?
Yes — we confirm placement, interconnection, and replacement age and can replace or add units if needed.
