Know what you're living with. A thorough electrical inspection identifies hidden hazards, code violations, and aging wiring before they become problems.
Every inspection follows a comprehensive, standardized checklist. Here's what our licensed electrician evaluates in your home.
Panel condition, breaker sizing, labeling accuracy, signs of overheating, double-tapped breakers, and overall capacity for your home's needs.
Identification of wiring type (Romex, knob-and-tube, aluminum), insulation condition, and visible damage in accessible areas like the attic, basement, and crawl space.
Verification that the grounding system is complete and properly bonded — grounding electrode, water pipe bonds, and equipment grounding conductors.
Testing all GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. Checking for required AFCI protection on bedroom and living area circuits per current code.
Every accessible outlet and switch tested for proper wiring, polarity, and ground. Missing or damaged cover plates noted as safety hazards.
Locations, age, and functionality of all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. We check compliance with current Washington State requirements.
Weather head, service mast, meter base condition, outdoor outlets and lighting, and clearance around the electrical service entrance.
Know the true condition of the electrical system before you close. Avoid inheriting hidden problems.
Demonstrate your home's safety and compliance to potential buyers. Resolve issues before they slow down a sale.
Homes over 25 years old often have outdated wiring, worn components, and code gaps. An inspection catches them early.
Some insurers require an electrical inspection for older homes or policy renewals. We provide the documentation they need.
Pair your inspection with these common safety upgrades. We can handle them on the same visit.
Installation of hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home. Meets current Washington State code.
A panel-mounted surge protector guards your electronics and appliances from power surges caused by storms, utility switching, and lightning.
Replace unprotected outlets in wet areas with GFCI outlets. Required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations.

Most home inspections take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the size and age of the home. Larger or older homes with more complex systems take longer. We don't rush — thoroughness is the whole point.
No. A general home inspector covers many systems at a surface level. Our inspection is performed by a licensed electrician who examines the electrical system in detail — including things a general inspector wouldn't check, like breaker sizing, grounding integrity, and wire gauge.
