When you should consider an electrical inspection
Older homes (especially pre-1990s), homes you're buying or selling, rentals where you don't know what was done by past owners, businesses adding new equipment, or any place where things just don't feel right electrically — all good reasons to have a licensed electrician walk it. Home inspectors are generalists; an electrical inspection from a Master Electrician goes deeper.
What's covered
• Main panel and grounding
• Sub-panels and labeled circuits
• Sample of outlets and switches
• GFCI and AFCI protection where required
• Bonding (gas, water)
• Smoke and CO detector wiring
• Service entry, mast, and meter
• Identification of Federal Pacific / Zinsco panels (known hazards)
• Aluminum branch wiring (if present)
• Visible code violations and safety concerns
You'll get a plain-English summary of what we found, what's urgent, what's recommended, and what's optional.
Honest evaluation, no sales pressure
Some inspections are designed to sell repairs. Ours isn't. If your panel is fine, we'll say so. If it's a real hazard, we'll explain why and what it'll take to fix it — and you can decide.
Signs you may need help
- Buying or selling a Colorado Springs home
- Older home with unknown electrical history
- Rental property between tenants
- Insurance company asked about the panel
- DIY work you want a professional to vet
- Recurring breaker trips or weird symptoms
- Business adding new equipment loads
Why hiring a Licensed Master Electrician matters
Electrical hazards are easy to miss for a non-specialist. A Licensed Master Electrician knows what to look for, knows the code, and can tell you whether what you have is a problem today, a problem tomorrow, or perfectly fine.
