First Choice Electrical and Solar’s Thorough Approach to Electrical Inspection Services
With our electrical inspection services, all those minor electrical problems that can sometimes go undetected for quite some time get the attention they need. As minor as some problems might be, they can still contribute to the wear and tear of your electrical system. Our electrical contractors uncover these issues before they evolve into larger ones.
Here’s what we inspect during an electrical inspection on your property:
- Electrical panel and circuit breakers
- Wiring and connections
- Outlets and switches
- Grounding systems
- Lighting fixtures and ceiling fans
- Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors
- Electrical service entrance and meter
- Surge protectors and GFCI/AFCI protection
- Electrical appliances and equipment
- Outdoor electrical systems and lighting
- …and more
How Often Should You Check Smoke Detectors?
We recommend that you test your smoke detectors once every month. Also, most manufacturers recommend replacing smoke detectors every 10 years even if they appear to be working correctly. Has it been a while since you checked your smoke detector? Give us a call and we’ll assess it so you can have confidence in your property’s safety.
When Should You Invest in an Electrical Safety Inspection?
It’s best to conduct an electrical safety inspection every five years. If you’re a landlord, it’s wise to schedule an inspection before renting out a property to new tenants to ensure compliance with safety regulations. There’s no telling what minor electrical issues might have developed in the years since the last inspection.
There are other instances where you might want to book an inspection, too, such as:
- Flickering lights
- Tripped breakers
- Burning smells
- An increase in utility costs
- …and more
Can an Electrical Inspection Lower Insurance Premiums?
In some cases, insurance companies offer discounts or incentives for properties that have undergone recent inspections and meet certain safety standards. It's essential to check with your insurance provider to see if they offer discounts or incentives for electrical inspections and to understand any specific requirements or guidelines they may have.
Regardless of whether or not there are insurance-related incentives for an inspection, it’s always wise to seek out our electricians every few years for an inspection.
How Much Does an Electrical Inspection Cost?
It is very difficult to give a general quote on an electrical inspection because every inspection is unique. The size of the commercial space or family home contributes to the final cost, as do other factors. In general, homeowners can expect to pay less while commercial properties may incur higher inspection costs. This is because homes are typically smaller and commercial properties typically have higher electrical demands due to their increased traffic and the presence of machinery.
Residential and Commercial Electrical Inspections
We have no problem inspecting residential and commercial properties. Regardless of what the building is used for, we will always conduct a top to bottom inspection of the property’s electrical infrastructure. After combing every inch of your home or business’s electrical work, we will present you with a certified report that highlights any issues you need to be aware of. Included in this report will be our professional recommendations on how to resolve the issues identified throughout the inspection.
