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.
