About lighting & pot lightsHome Electrical Safety Inspection
Buying a home or concerned about your wiring? Our comprehensive electrical safety inspection identifies hazards and provides a detailed written report.
Scope of work
- Full panel inspection and load assessment
- Outlet and switch testing (grounding, polarity)
- GFCI and AFCI testing
- Smoke/CO detector verification
- Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring identification
- Written report with recommendations
A home electrical inspection goes beyond what a standard home inspector checks. We open the panel, inspect all connections for heat damage or corrosion, test every accessible outlet for proper grounding and polarity, verify GFCI protection in required locations, and check for code violations. This is especially valuable for homes over 25 years old, before buying a home, or for insurance purposes.
Home Electrical Safety Inspection FAQs
How much does a home electrical inspection cost?
A comprehensive electrical safety inspection in the GTA runs $250–$400 and includes the panel, grounding, outlet and GFCI testing, detector verification, and identification of knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. You receive a written report with photos and prioritized recommendations.
Should I get an electrical inspection before buying a house?
Absolutely — especially for homes over 25 years old. A general home inspector doesn't open the panel or test every circuit. Our inspection has saved buyers thousands by uncovering hidden knob-and-tube, overloaded panels, and DIY wiring before closing.
What does an electrician check that a home inspector doesn't?
We remove the panel cover and inspect every connection for heat damage, test outlets for grounding and polarity, verify GFCI/AFCI protection, check wire gauges against breaker sizes, and look inside junction boxes. Home inspectors are limited to visual, non-invasive checks.
