An electrical safety inspection is a thorough examination of your home’s complete electrical system. We look at everything from your main panel to the smallest switch. These inspections help catch problems with electrical wiring that you’d never see just by looking at your walls. We test circuits, check connections, and examine all components that carry electricity through your home.
The goal? To find and fix issues before they cause a power outage or, worse — an electrical fire. Regular maintenance through these inspections helps your electrical system last longer and work better. Plus, if you’re buying or selling a home, these inspections can save you from costly surprises down the road.
When we visit your home, we don’t just glance at a few outlets and call it a day. Our inspections dig deep into your electrical system. Here’s what we’ll look at during your electrical safety inspection in St. Louis:
We also look for outdated aluminum wiring, check for proper wire gauges throughout your home, and make sure your electrical system meets current regulatory compliance standards.
Your home might be hiding electrical dangers you can’t see until it’s too late. Our safety inspections catch these hazards before they catch you off guard. Overloaded circuits often go unnoticed until they trip repeatedly or, worse, cause a fire. Old wiring deteriorates inside your walls, creating a risk you can’t detect without proper testing.
Faulty ground connections leave you vulnerable to shock and damage to expensive electronics. We also check for improper wire connections that can heat up and potentially start fires within walls or ceilings. Water and electricity create a deadly combination, so we pay special attention to areas near sewer lines or water pipes.
Another common hazard we find is DIY electrical work that doesn’t meet code requirements. These amateur fixes might seem fine on the surface but often create dangerous situations that only professional eyes can spot.
Beyond just spotting problems, electrical safety inspections give you real peace of mind. You’ll sleep better knowing your family isn’t at risk from faulty wiring or outdated electrical components. These check-ups also save you money in several ways:
Many insurance companies look favorably on homes with recent electrical inspections. Some even offer discounts when you can prove your electrical system has been professionally checked. And if you’re selling your home, having documentation of a clean electrical bill of health makes your property more attractive to buyers.
You don’t need to wait for obvious problems to pop up before calling us for an electrical inspection in St. Louis. Smart homeowners get electrical inspections under these conditions:
Any home older than 25 years should have its electrical system checked, as standards have changed significantly. If you’re buying or selling a property, an inspection helps avoid surprises during the closing process. After any major renovation project, even if it wasn’t electrical in nature, it’s smart to check that nothing was damaged or disconnected.
If you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, frequent circuit trips, or burning smells, don’t delay — these are warning signs that demand immediate attention. Also, an inspection should be conducted before adding major new electrical demands like an electric vehicle charging station or high-powered workshop equipment.
Seasonal changes affect your electrical needs, too. Before summer hits and you crank up that air conditioning, or before winter when space heaters and holiday lights increase your electrical load, a quick inspection can head off problems.
Electrical safety inspections aren’t a time to check off boxes. They protect what matters most, and you want a company that takes them seriously. Your family deserves the security of knowing your electrical system won’t let you down when you need it.
