The electrical system is one of the most important parts of any building. After all, your lights, HVAC system, and appliances all rely on consistent energy to function. Because this system plays such an essential role in your everyday comfort, we at Rocking T Home Inspections strongly encourage you to schedule an electrical inspection to make sure nothing is wrong with the wiring before buying any home or commercial building.
In this article, we will provide an overview of what we look at during an electrical inspection so that you will know exactly what to expect.
- Circuit Breakers – During an electrical inspection, our team will examine the circuit breakers in the house or commercial building. The circuit breaker or fuse box is an essential part of any electrical system, as it is what takes energy from the grid and directs it to the various circuits throughout the building. We will carefully inspect the fuses and other components to make sure they are in good condition.
- Wiring – Another thing our team will look at during an electrical inspection is the various circuits in the building. We will inspect the wires to make sure they are in good shape, and we’ll test the circuits to make sure they are delivering adequate power to the various systems, appliances, and outlets.
- Safety Measures – A third thing we will examine during an electrical inspection is the safety features built into your system, such as surge protection and circuit breakers. It’s important to make sure these features work properly so your home or building will be protected from excess electrical energy, which can fry electronics and injure people.
