Home Buyer Electrical Inspection

WIREONE recommends that anyone who is considering purchasing a new home orders a pre-sale residential safety inspection. Without a safety inspection, there could be serious problems that go unnoticed and untreated until they become a threat to your safety or cause other damage to your new home.

During your residential safety inspection, our professional electrician will perform a 39-point inspection of the home you’re considering buying and will work to uncover any problems with the home’s electrical system before they become your issues.

What is an Electrical Home Inspection?

An electrical home inspection provides a thorough examination of your entire electrical system, ensuring all electrical wires, systems, and components (such as appliances) meet legal safety standards. The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the code that all electricians operate under when examining your home, and defines the parameters for minimum standards across the United States. During your residential safety inspection, our professional electrician will perform a 39-point inspection of your home and will work to uncover any problems with your home’s electrical system before they become serious issues. Upon completion of your electrical home inspection, WIREONE will provide a detailed, prioritized checklist including areas in need of immediate attention, recommendations for improvements, and potential upgrade possibilities.
