Inspect the Electrical Panel and Breakers

We examine the panel for age, capacity, loose connections, corrosion, and overheating. If your panel is not meeting your home’s needs, we may recommend a panel service upgrade.

Check Wiring Throughout the Home

We inspect visible wiring and look for outdated materials, aluminum wiring, open splices, or unsafe previous repairs.

Test Outlets, Switches, and GFCI/AFCI Protection

These devices protect you from shocks and electrical fires. We verify they are wired correctly and functioning properly.

Verify Proper Grounding and Bonding

A grounded home is a safe home. We check grounding rods, bonding conductors, and panel grounding.
