Electrical Inspections & Safety Evaluations

Price depends on home size, whether we are walking a buyer’s report vs a full safety evaluation, and how much of the system is accessible. We quote the inspection itself as a defined visit and report. Repair work is a separate proposal if you want it—never bundled as a surprise.

A general home inspector screens the house. A licensed electrician inspects accessible electrical equipment in more depth, tests circuits, and can distinguish a code note from an actual defect. If a real-estate report flags the panel, wiring, or GFCI/AFCI items, an electrician’s evaluation is the right next step before you budget repairs.

Buying, selling, or living with unexplained trips, heat at the panel, or burning smells without a professional look is a safety risk. An inspection itself is not dangerous. We do not open sealed equipment unnecessarily or create scare lists. The goal is a written record of what is safe, what needs repair, and what is optional.

Notes such as “panel at capacity,” “double taps,” “rust,” “Federal Pacific,” or “recommend electrician” are starting points, not a mandate to replace everything. We translate those lines into required repair, related conditions, and optional upgrades. Cobb County homeowners can read our blog guide on inspection language and panels.

No. We quote repairs that match the findings. If the panel is adequate, we say so. Optional capacity work is labeled optional. That is our published No Upsells policy.

Yes. Pre-list and buyer-side electrical evaluations are common. We write a report you can share with agents and coordinate repairs against closing dates when you hire us for the work.
