What You Need to Know About Electrical System Inspections

When and why might you need an electrical safety inspection?

If your home is more than 25 years old, it should be inspected. The professional you are working with will be able to tell you how soon you may need another one.

For rental property, this should be checked every five years. Not only is this about protecting the safety of your tenants, but it is also about making sure they have not modified or damaged any aspect of your electrical system.

If you have an older, historic home. While certainly charming, it is often still relying on an outdated wiring system. If you discover that you have something like knob and tube wiring, which an inspection would determine, you should have it replaced and modernized.

If you are planning on adding a new major appliance or a feature that requires electricity, such as the aforementioned hot tub. This is vital for making sure that your current electrical system is ready to handle the task without overloading the system.
