Electrical Panel Inspection Process

What's Included In Your Inspection

An electrical inspection isn’t just looking at your breaker box. Jimco Electric tests circuits under load, check wire connections, measure voltage, and inspect every component that affects your safety.

You’ll see problems you didn’t know existed. Loose connections that create fire hazards. Circuits carrying more load than they should. Wiring that doesn’t meet current codes. GFCI outlets that aren’t working properly.

Most electrical problems start small and get worse over time. Catching them early means fixing them before they become expensive emergencies or dangerous situations.

Electrical Inspections FAQs

Common questions about our Electrical Inspections services

Most residential electrical inspections take 2-4 hours depending on your home’s size and electrical complexity. Larger homes with multiple panels or older wiring systems may take longer. We don’t rush through inspections because thoroughness is what keeps you safe. You’re welcome to follow along and ask questions during the process. Commercial inspections typically take longer due to more complex electrical systems and additional code requirements that need verification.
Electrical inspection pricing depends on your property size and electrical system complexity. Most residential inspections range from $200-400. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work – no surprises or hidden fees. The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the thousands you could spend on emergency electrical repairs or fire damage. Many homeowners find that catching problems early through inspection actually saves them money in the long run.
While not always legally required, an electrical inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make when buying a home. Many electrical problems aren’t visible during a standard home inspection. You want to know if the electrical system can safely handle your family’s needs before you own the house. Electrical repairs can cost thousands of dollars, and some insurance companies require electrical inspections for older homes. It’s much better to negotiate repairs with the seller than pay for them yourself after closing.
When we find electrical issues, you get a detailed report explaining each problem and its safety priority. Critical safety hazards need immediate attention, while other issues can be planned for future repair. We provide repair cost estimates so you can budget accordingly. If you’re buying a home, you can use the inspection report to negotiate with the seller for repairs or price reductions. For existing homeowners, you’ll have a clear roadmap for keeping your electrical system safe and up to code.
Most electrical systems should be inspected every 10-15 years, but older homes may need more frequent inspections. If your home is over 25 years old, has aluminum wiring, or uses a fuse box instead of circuit breakers, more frequent inspections are recommended. You should also get an inspection if you’re experiencing electrical problems like flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, or burning smells. Any time you’re buying or selling a home is also a good time for an electrical inspection.
Yes, you can remain in your home during the inspection, though we may need to temporarily shut off power to specific circuits while testing. We’ll let you know before turning off any power and work to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Many homeowners like to follow along during the inspection to learn about their electrical system and ask questions. If you have a home office or medical equipment that needs continuous power, let us know when scheduling so we can plan accordingly.
