  • There are a few reasons why you should have a home electrical inspection. In addition to electrical safety checks being essential for the safety of your home and everyone in it, they offer you and your family peace of mind. Some of the most common reasons property owners have their electrical systems inspected include:

    • Purchasing a New Home: An electrical inspection is one of the most important things you can do when shopping for your next home. The process can help uncover hidden problems and ensure a fair home purchase price. Any modifications to the home's original wiring may have been performed incorrectly, whether in ignorance or to cut corners. Issues are more prevalent in older homes, where the number of repair attempts from various owners over the years can result in an electrical nightmare. It's common for older homes to lack the power supply and wiring necessary to support the vast array of electronic devices used in modern residences.
    • Before Renovating: Before upgrading your home with a major renovation, a home electrical inspection ensures your current system can support your remodeling plans. The best time to make electrical upgrades to a residence is when the walls are open, and new additions aren't permanently in place. You'll also find they're generally less expensive to complete.
    • For Insurance Purposes: Your insurer may also request home electrical inspections. They're commonly requested when you switch providers, submit claims, or your house reaches a certain age (such as a home's 30-year mark). This helps the insurer assess your risk and rates and identify safety issues, helping you save on premiums.
    • Electrical Issues Due to Homeowner Error: Electrical issues uncovered in home electrical inspections are often due to homeowner error and ignorance. Therefore, it's highly unwise to perform an electrical inspection yourself. Far from a DIY endeavor, assessing an electrical system properly takes an expert opinion and years of experience. Most homeowners don't know what to look for. Hiring the professionals at Mr. Electric of Central Michigan to handle the job can help you avoid expensive upgrades and repairs or electrical fires down the road.

What Do Our Electrical Experts Look For?

Some of the things our electricians will inspect while performing their electrical safety inspection include:

  • Proper grounding
  • Overloaded circuits
  • Wiring that's in good working order
  • If your electrical box is correctly wired, hasn't been recalled, and supplies sufficient for your home's power needs
  • Whether your electrical service is large enough to support your current and future electrical needs
  • Your switches and outlets are in good working order and the right type for the function/location in the home
  • You have GFCIs in use in moisture-prone areas, including the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, basement, garage, crawlspace, and outdoor areas
  • Common homeowner electrical mistakes (wrong wire size, loose connections, missing junction boxes, exposed wires, wrong amperage circuit breaker, overloaded outlets/circuits, etc.)
  • Any deviations from the most current standards of the National Electrical Code
  • The NEC is updated every three years. Most states adopt the most recent edition within a few years of publication. Although the code is updated every three years, not all jurisdictions adopt each new version immediately. Many states and local governments may implement the most current edition within a few years of its release. Some jurisdictions omit or modify sections or add their own requirements according to locally accepted practices. Let our experts keep your home safe and reliable in Mt. Pleasant, MI and the surrounding areas, including Alma, Clare, Edmore, and Big Rapids. Schedule an appointment online or contact Mr. Electric of Central Michigan today to learn more.
