Our standard electrical inspection is a comprehensive safety check. We examine your main service panel, test outlets and switches for proper grounding and function, check for any outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, and ensure all GFCIs and AFCIs are working correctly to prevent shocks and fires. We provide a detailed report of our findings and any recommended actions to keep your home safe.

Our electricians are experienced in updating aging residential wiring systems to improve safety and meet today's electrical demands.
