What Our Home Electrical Inspection Covers
Our inspection process is structured to evaluate life-safety protections, system integrity, and code-compliance essentials throughout the home. Typical checkpoints include:
- Main service equipment: meter, service entrance conductors, grounding electrode system, and bonding.
- Main panel and any subpanels: working clearances, breaker sizing, labeling, signs of overheating, and improper double-taps.
- Protection devices: testing/verification of GFCI and AFCI protection where required by current code.
- Receptacles and switches: polarity, grounding, loose connections, and the presence of tamper-resistant devices in dwelling areas.
- Lighting and ceiling fans: fixture ratings, proper box support for fans, and secure terminations.
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms: location, interconnection, and replacement needs based on age and condition.
- Surge protection: evaluation of whole-home and point-of-use solutions to protect sensitive electronics.
- Kitchen, bath, laundry, and garage circuits: appliance/dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and safe wiring methods.
- Outdoor and damp locations: weatherproof enclosures, in-use covers, GFCI protection, and condition of landscape lighting.
- General safety: open junction boxes, use of extension cords in place of permanent wiring, and proper cable support.

Following the walk-through, our Raleigh team reviews findings against the most recent North Carolina–adopted NEC and local Cary/AHJ requirements. Homeowners receive straightforward guidance organized by priority—items to address for safety, maintenance opportunities, and optional upgrades.
