3 things to expect from your home safety inspection

Is it time for a home safety inspection? You might be unsure what to expect. We spell it out here. These are some of the important aspects of your home’s electrical system that we’ll examine:

1.Electric Panels

We’ll check whether or not the panel is providing sufficient electrical capacity for your home’s needs too. We will also check whether or not your electrical panel is a brand that has been recalled or discontinued.

2. Electrical Wiring

We’ll check that all visible wiring is up to code and in good shape without any exposed splices. We’ll make sure cables are secured and protected.

3. Electrical Systems in Wet Areas

Any electrical systems that are in close proximity to water need to be especially inspected and updated. This usually means areas in the bathrooms, kitchens, workshops or outdoors. The outlets in these areas must have GFCI outlets (“Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) which are programmed to cut electricity to that area if exposed to water.

All The Best,
