Electrical inspections

Electrical inspection when buying or selling your home

There are few events that loom larger in the timeline of one’s life than the buying or selling of a home. Homeownership and the transfer of this title is always a major milestone. It’s something to take very seriously.
No matter if you’re about to put your home on the market or finally purchase that home you always dreamed about, it’s important you take the proper steps. A step that some homeowners overlook is the all-important electrical inspection.
A home electrical inspection will be an all-important step in ensuring that the purchase or sale of your property will run smoothly from beginning to end.
If this is your first time buying or selling property, you may feel less than certain about what an electrical inspection consists of. What does this kind of thing entail?
During an electrical inspection, a professional will come over and check all of the wirings of a property. Their goal is to ensure that all the electrical work in the home is up to standard and presents no potential danger to the residents. There is a lot of work to be done in this type of work. The inspector will need to ensure proper permits have been pulled, check fuse boxes, and look at all the wiring within the home. They will ensure all wiring is anchored properly and presents no chance of causing an electrical fire.

They will also ensure that everything within the home is up to code. If there are issues with the home, an inspector will create an itemized list which will allow these issues to be resolved quickly.
Once the issues are fixed, the inspector can return to ensure that all has been done correctly.

Importance of an Inspection Prior to Purchasing a Home The last thing you would want to do is purchase a home before having a proper electrical inspection done. Failure to have an inspection done could result in electrical problems revealing themselves down the line. We at ME Electric can and will acquire the permits and call for the inspections when they’re done.
