Your electrical system powers every part of your home or business from lights and appliances to security systems and HVAC units. But when was the last time it was inspected? A professionalelectric inspection ensures your system operates safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all local codes.
At Lunaria Family Electric, we specialize in detailed electric inspections for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our licensed electricians examine your system thoroughly, catch problems before they become hazards, and offer honest solutions that keep you safe and up to code.
Why an Electric Inspection Is Absolutely Essential
It’s easy to take electricity for granted—until something goes wrong. Outdated or faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or improperly installed panels can create serious dangers such as:
-
Electrical fires
-
Power outages
-
Appliance damage
-
Circuit breaker trips
-
Code violations and insurance issues
With an electric inspection, you uncover hidden issues, prevent major repairs, and ensure peace of mind. Whether you’re buying a home, remodeling, or maintaining a commercial building, a timely inspection is the key to lasting electrical safety.
When You Should Schedule an Electric Inspection
Many homeowners and business owners wait until something goes wrong. However, proactive inspections save money and keep your family, tenants, or employees protected.
You should schedule an electric inspection when:
-
You’re buying or selling a property
Know exactly what condition the electrical system is in before closing the deal. -
Your home is 20+ years old
Older systems often can’t handle today’s electrical demands or may no longer meet code. -
You’re renovating or adding new appliances
Before increasing your load, ensure your wiring and panel can handle it safely. -
You experience frequent breaker trips or flickering lights
These are early signs of deeper problems that should be addressed quickly. -
You want to install EV chargers, generators, or solar systems
We’ll ensure your system can support the upgrade without overloading. -
You want peace of mind
Even if everything seems fine, periodic inspections prevent unexpected failures and hazards.
What Our Electric Inspection Covers
When you choose Lunaria Family Electric for an electric inspection, you receive a comprehensive, top-to-bottom evaluation. We follow national and local electrical codes, safety protocols, and modern industry standards to examine every component in detail.
Here’s what we inspect:
Main Electrical Panel
We check for proper grounding, loose connections, overheating, corrosion, and capacity limits. If your panel is outdated or overloaded, we’ll recommend safe upgrades.
Circuit Breakers and Fuses
We test breakers for functionality, check amperage ratings, and ensure no breakers are double-tapped or improperly installed.
Wiring Condition
Our electricians evaluate wire gauge, insulation condition, and layout to identify potential fire hazards or voltage drops.
Outlets and Switches
We inspect all accessible outlets and switches for secure wiring, damage, reversed polarity, or GFCI protection in wet areas.
Grounding and Bonding
Proper grounding ensures safety during faults. We test for continuity and verify bonding of all necessary systems.
Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans
We examine all visible fixtures for safe installation, proper support, and correct wattage compatibility.
Smoke and CO Detectors
We verify placement, battery backup functionality, and interconnection where required by code.
Outdoor and Garage Electrical
Outdoor outlets, lighting, and garages often go overlooked. We inspect these areas for proper weatherproofing and safe wiring.
Electrical System Load Capacity
We assess how much power your system uses and whether it’s safe to add more appliances or equipment.
Smart Systems and Surge Protection
We verify if surge protectors, smart panels, or smart outlets are installed properly and functioning correctly.
