Electrical inspection in Commerce Township: local conditions matter
Metro Detroit homes work their electrical systems hard, and more so every year as EV chargers, central air and home offices are added. In Commerce Township and across Oakland County, we check the capacity of the panel and service before we begin electrical inspections, so that nothing new is hung on a system that is already full.
When an electrical inspection is worth it
A dedicated inspection makes sense before buying any home older than about 40 years, after a flood or fire, when an insurer asks about the wiring, before a major remodel and whenever you notice warning signs like warm outlets or frequent trips. It is separate from the permit inspection carried out by a municipal inspector on new work. Our report tells you what is urgent, what can wait and what is fine as it is.
