Home Electrical Safety Inspections
Find the hot spot before it finds you.
An electrical safety inspection is a licensed electrician's check of your panel, grounding, wiring, GFCI/AFCI protection, outlets, smoke detectors and connections, often including a thermal scan of the panel to find overheating. It's recommended every few years, after buying a home, and for homes built before 1990.
Electrical problems are a leading cause of home fires, and most give no warning you'd notice day to day. A professional inspection with thermal imaging finds loose, overheating connections and outdated protection before they become emergencies.
Our Safety Plan members get this inspection every year as part of their plan.

- You just bought the home or are about to sell

Every 3–5 years for most homes, every year for homes over 40 years old or with known issues, and whenever you buy a home or finish major renovations.
What is a thermal scan of an electrical panel?
An infrared camera shows temperature differences across breakers and connections. Hot spots reveal loose or overloaded connections long before they fail, without disrupting your power.
