Electrical systems are one of the most important — and potentially dangerous — components of any home. Faulty wiring, outdated panels, loose connections, and overloaded circuits are among the leading causes of residential fires in the U.S.

An electrical inspection ensures your home is safe, efficient, and up to modern standards. At By George Inspections & Services, LLC, we specialize in identifying electrical risks before they threaten your property or family.

What’s Included in a Residential Electrical Inspection?

1. Main Electrical Panel Evaluation

We check for:

• Overheating

• Corrosion

• Loose breakers

• Outdated components

• Amateur wiring

Panels installed decades ago may no longer meet today’s safety standards.

2. Wiring & Outlets

We inspect all visible wiring for damage, wear, or fire hazards — and ensure outlets are properly grounded and protected.

3. GFCI & AFCI Protection

Modern homes require GFCI and AFCI outlets in specific areas for safety. We check if your system meets these requirements.

4. Appliance & System Load Testing

We verify that your home’s circuits are not overloaded, reducing the risk of overheating and fire.

Common Electrical Issues Found in Homes

• Double-tapped breakers

• Outdated aluminum wiring

• Improperly grounded outlets

• Overloaded circuits

• Loose service connections

• Unlabeled electrical panels

• Water intrusion into panels

Why Every Home Should Have an Electrical Inspection
