Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Safety Inspections
How often should I have an electrical safety inspection?
We recommend having a comprehensive electrical safety inspection every 5-10 years for newer homes and every 3-5 years for homes over 25 years old. You should also schedule an inspection when purchasing a new property, after major renovations, or if you notice any warning signs like flickering lights, frequent circuit trips, or unusual odors from electrical components.
How long does an electrical safety inspection take?
A typical residential electrical safety inspection in Coquitlam takes between 2-4 hours, depending on the size and age of your home, the complexity of your electrical system, and any specific concerns that need to be addressed. We take the time needed to thoroughly examine all components of your electrical system.
What happens if you find problems during the inspection?
If we identify issues during your inspection, we’ll document them with photos and detailed descriptions in your inspection report. We’ll explain the severity of each issue and provide clear recommendations for repairs or upgrades. For minor issues that can be fixed quickly, we may be able to address them during the same visit with your approval. For more extensive repairs, we’ll provide a detailed quote and timeline.
Do I need to prepare my home before an electrical inspection?
To ensure a thorough inspection, we recommend providing clear access to your electrical panel, outlets, switches, and major appliances. Remove any furniture or items blocking access to these areas.
