A residential electrical inspection is a professional safety check of a home’s wiring, panel, outlets, and fixtures to find hazards, code violations, and inefficiencies, ensuring the system is safe, functional, and compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local rules, preventing fires, shocks, and expensive damage. Inspectors check everything from visible wires and grounding to GFCI/AFCI protection and panel labeling, offering peace of mind for homeowners, buyers, or during renovations.
