Electrical Safety Inspections — Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get an electrical inspection?

We recommend an inspection every 5–10 years for homes, or anytime you’re buying, selling, renovating, or adding major loads (EV charger, hot tub, generator). Older Fairfield County homes (pre-1980) benefit from more frequent checks.

What does an electrical inspection include?

We inspect your main panel, all circuits, outlets, switches, grounding system, GFCI/AFCI protection, visible wiring, and smoke/CO detectors. You receive a detailed written report with photos of any issues found.

Do I need an inspection to sell my home in Connecticut?

Connecticut doesn’t require a pre-sale electrical inspection, but buyers and lenders often request one. A clean inspection report speeds up the sale and prevents last-minute negotiation surprises.

Will you find knob and tube wiring?

Yes, our thorough inspections frequently uncover outdated knob and tube wiring common in historic Connecticut homes. We'll identify it, assess its condition, and provide options for safe removal or replacement to satisfy insurance companies.

Does this inspection cover the exterior meter and utility connection?

Yes, we inspect the exterior service equipment, including the meter base, weatherhead, and service entrance cable to ensure weather hasn't compromised the connection to Eversource's lines.

Can you fix the issues you find during the inspection?

Absolutely. For many minor issues, our electricians can perform repairs on the spot since our trucks are fully stocked. For larger projects, we'll provide a comprehensive, upfront estimate.

Will an inspection lower my home insurance?

In many cases, yes. Insurance companies may require an electrical inspection for older homes to verify the safety of the electrical system, especially if you have an older panel brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco.
