An electrical inspection answers the question every older-home buyer and owner eventually asks: what's actually in these walls, and is it safe? We inspect the panel, the wiring, the devices, and the grounding, then give you a written report with photos — not a scare sheet, just the facts.
In Fort Lauderdale, inspections cluster around three moments: buying an older home, satisfying an insurance 4-point requirement, and wondering whether that 100-amp panel and those two-prong outlets are actually fine.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a Victoria Park bungalow or a Colee Hammock historic home? The general home inspector flags electrical concerns; we define them. We open the panel, identify aluminum wiring, check grounding, test GFCIs, and tell you what needs immediate attention versus what can wait — with real prices, so you can negotiate or plan.
4-Point Inspections for Insurance
Florida insurers commonly require a 4-point inspection — roof, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical — on older homes, and the electrical portion sinks more deals than buyers expect. Undersized panels, double-tapped breakers, and ungrounded systems all show up here.
We perform the electrical portion thoroughly and document what's needed to satisfy the underwriter, then quote the corrections in writing. Fixing the findings before the insurance deadline is the whole game.
Safety Evaluations for Older Homes
Already own the home and just wondering? We evaluate panels, wiring type, device condition, and surge protection, and give you a prioritized list: what to fix now, what to plan for, and what's fine. No pressure — the report is yours either way.
Common questions
What does the inspection cover?
The panel and breakers, wiring type and condition, grounding, outlets and switches, GFCI protection, smoke detector placement, and surge protection. You get a written report with photos.
Will you try to sell me work during the inspection?
We'll tell you what we find and what it costs to fix — that's the point of the report. Whether you hire us for the corrections is your call.
How long does it take?
A typical residential inspection runs one to two hours, depending on the home's size and age.
