What does the electrical inspection involve beyond the panel?

While the panel is central, our electrical inspection covers the whole accessible system in your Glencoe home. We test a representative sample of outlets and switches, confirm GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations, and check for AFCI protection where it's expected. We look at visible wiring in the attic, basement, and unfinished spaces for proper installation, watching for the amateur splices and open junction boxes that turn up in older homes with a history of DIY updates. We verify that the service entrance, meter, and grounding look right, and we test installed light fixtures, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and the operation of major hardwired appliances. In mid-century homes we flag aluminum branch wiring, and in pre-1950 houses we note any knob-and-tube. The goal is to identify both safety hazards and code-aged items so nothing surprises you. We explain which findings are urgent and which are minor. Call us to schedule a full electrical evaluation, or build a free instant quote online to get going.
