Electrical Inspection for Whittaker homes and businesses
Whittaker is in Washtenaw County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on electrical inspections in Whittaker, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.
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.
