Electric inspection is one of the most important steps in ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of your home or business. At Lunaria Family Electric, we believe regular inspections can prevent hazards, save money on energy, and keep your electrical systems running smoothly. Whether you own a residential property, manage a commercial building, or just want to make sure your wiring is up to code, our professional electric inspection services are designed to meet your exact needs.
What is an Electric Inspection and Why Is It Vital?
An electric inspection involves a thorough evaluation of your electrical system, including panels, wiring, switches, outlets, breakers, and grounding. At Lunaria Family Electric, our certified electricians conduct detailed assessments that highlight outdated components, code violations, and potential fire risks. If you’ve recently purchased a property, undergone renovations, or noticed flickering lights, an electric inspection is a smart and necessary decision.
We also help you stay compliant with local building codes and safety standards. In many areas, inspections are required before major upgrades or resale transactions. Ignoring this vital process can lead to fines, liability, or even dangerous outcomes like electrical fires.
When Should You Schedule an Electric Inspection?
There are several scenarios when electric inspection becomes critical:
-
Before buying or selling a property
-
After remodeling or adding new appliances
-
If your home is over 25 years old
-
Following an electrical failure or power surge
-
When your energy bills seem unusually high
By scheduling a routine inspection, you catch issues early and reduce the risk of expensive repairs or emergencies. Lunaria Family Electric offers flexible scheduling to meet your convenience while ensuring quality service every time.
What Does a Professional Electric Inspection Include?
Our electric inspection process is comprehensive and structured. Here’s what you can expect from Lunaria Family Electric:
Visual Assessment of All Components
We begin by visually inspecting all wires, panels, outlets, breakers, and switches. This helps us identify discoloration, corrosion, or damage that may signal electrical faults.
Testing of Electrical Load
Overloaded circuits are one of the leading causes of house fires. We test how much power your system handles and ensure it aligns with your actual electrical usage.
Verification of Grounding and Bonding
A properly grounded system protects people and devices from electrical shock. Our team verifies that your home has adequate grounding and bonding in place.
Evaluation of GFCI/AFCI Protection
We check for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI) in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-risk areas. These devices are vital for modern safety standards.
Code Compliance Review
Our licensed electricians are up to date on local, state, and national electrical codes. We identify outdated wiring or devices that could lead to compliance issues.
How Electric Inspections Save You Money
Most property owners assume electric inspection is only about safety. However, it also plays a major role in cost savings. By catching minor issues before they turn into expensive problems, you save on repair costs. In addition, we assess your energy usage patterns and recommend upgrades that improve efficiency. For example, replacing outdated fixtures or upgrading your electrical panel can significantly lower your monthly bills.
Furthermore, insurance companies often provide lower premiums for homes that pass electric inspections because the risk of fire or loss is reduced.

-
Office buildings

Commercial inspections are essential for ensuring employee safety, customer satisfaction, and uninterrupted business operations. We also assist with preparing documentation for insurance audits, licensing, and permitting processes.
Common Issues Found During an Electric Inspection
Through years of inspections, we frequently find:
-
Overloaded circuits
-
Outdated wiring such as knob-and-tube or aluminum
-
Missing or faulty GFCI/AFCI protection
-
Ungrounded outlets
-
Code violations from amateur DIY work
-
Hidden moisture damage
When we uncover these issues, we guide you on repair or upgrade options that suit your budget. Whether it’s minor repairs or major rewiring, Lunaria Family Electric will ensure your system is brought up to today’s safety standards.
How Often Should You Get an Electric Inspection?
Most experts recommend a complete electric inspection every 3–5 years. However, older homes or high-energy-usage properties should be inspected more frequently. If your last inspection was more than five years ago, it’s time to schedule one now.
We also suggest immediate inspections after storm damage, flooding, or the addition of new high-voltage appliances like hot tubs or EV chargers.
