What We Checked During the Inspection
- Main panel and subpanel inspection: Visual assessment of condition, labeling, clearances, and enclosure integrity.
- Voltage testing: Measurements at the neutral/ground bar, main lugs, and across all breakers to verify expected voltage and identify irregularities.
- Safety device testing: Functional checks of panel surge protection devices, service disconnects, and GFCI breakers to confirm operation.
- Main electrical service review: Inspection of the meter base, service conductors/feeders, weatherhead, and service attachments for wear or damage.
- Grounding and bonding: Verification of the home’s grounding electrode system and bonding connections to support safe fault clearing.
- Major appliance power/disconnects: Inspection of HVAC and other large appliance circuits and disconnects for proper sizing and secure terminations.
- Representative outlet checks: Opened and evaluated two sample receptacles for signs of backstabbing, loose terminations, and conductor condition.
- Code review and homeowner guidance: Discussed current code requirements relevant to the home and provided recommendations for safety and reliability.
This structured approach helps surface potential hazards, age-related wear, or configuration issues that can affect both performance and safety.
