The things you cannot see behind your walls still bear a huge impact on your home. Your home electrical system is no exception! With a home electrical inspection, BelRed can help identify potential pitfalls in your home wiring and provide solutions to make your home safe and compliant.
There are a few events that call for a thorough inspection, some of which are mandatory (and others, just a really worthwhile idea!): When adding an appliance, when a home has had a major renovation, when you’re about to purchase a home, or if your home is more than 40 years old and you haven’t previously had a home electrical inspection before.
Old electrical wiring cannot keep up with modern-day living, so electrical inspections can help inform your decision when buying an older home. Additionally, when purchasing a resale home, a comprehensive electrical inspection can reveal if owners may have renovated or added equipment that may not meet code for safety standards. Before starting a home improvement project or major renovation, an electrical inspection will provide a reality check on whether or not you can operate the appliances/fans/lighting you’d hope to install. Some insurance providers may also ask for your home electrical inspection during a homeowner insurance policy switch, or to support a claim for an existing policyholder.
