Why Local Owners Need Electrical Inspections

Many people in Wellington contact us because something has changed with their property, or because another professional has suggested an inspection. You might be buying or selling a home and need to confirm that the electrical system is safe and up to current standards. You might be a landlord or business owner who needs a safety check for tenants or staff.

Other times, the system is telling you something is wrong. Breakers may be tripping more often, lights may be flickering, or outlets may feel warm. In South Florida, storms and frequent lightning can put added stress on panels, wiring, and surge protection. An inspection helps identify whether these are minor issues or signs of something more serious.

Insurance companies and lenders sometimes request electrical evaluations, especially in older homes or buildings that have been updated in stages. In those cases, you want a licensed, established company that can look at the entire system, not just a single outlet or breaker. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of your electrical health, so you are not guessing about safety or compliance.

We also hear from property owners who simply want peace of mind. They may have recently moved into a home with additions, a detached garage, or an older panel. A comprehensive inspection gives them confidence that the system is wired correctly and can handle their everyday needs without unnecessary risk.

Our Electrical Inspection Process

When you know an inspection is the right step, the next concern is usually what will actually happen during the visit. We follow a clear, consistent process so you always know where things stand. It begins before we touch a tool, with a conversation about what you have noticed and what you hope to learn.

First, we ask you to describe any concerns, past problems, or changes to your home or facility. This might include areas that have lost power, rooms where lights dim when appliances start, or panels that make unusual sounds. Your observations help us focus on the right areas while still reviewing the full system.

Next, our technician evaluates your electrical system and performs a safety check. This typically includes examining your main panel, breakers, visible wiring, and key protection devices. We pay particular attention to signs of overheating, corrosion, improper connections, or equipment that may be outdated for today’s demands. In many Wellington properties, this includes checking how additions or remodels were tied into the original system.

After the evaluation, we sit down with you to explain our findings in plain language. We do not expect you to be an electrician. We walk through what is working well, what could become a problem, and what may present a more urgent safety concern. You can ask questions at any point, and we will take the time to answer them clearly.

Once you understand the condition of your system, we recommend solutions for any issues we have identified. We provide StraightForward Pricing® for each option, so you see the cost before you decide how to proceed. You stay in control of the work. Our job is to give you options that fit your needs, priorities, and budget, not to push you into a single choice.

After you select the option that is right for you and authorize the work, we complete the agreed tasks as efficiently as possible. When the work is finished, we clean up our work area and handle the necessary paperwork. If our inspection uncovers a serious hazard that cannot safely wait, we can respond quickly and we have 24/7 emergency service available for urgent situations.

What We Check During An Inspection

A good inspection looks at the electrical system as a whole, not just one outlet or device. Our goal is to understand how power enters your property, how it is distributed, and whether that setup matches how you live or work in the space. We focus on both safety and practicality.

We start with your main service equipment, including the panel, breakers, and main disconnect. We look for signs of loose connections, overheating, improper labeling, or components that are no longer considered acceptable by current standards. In Florida, we also pay attention to how your system is grounded and bonded, since this affects both safety and surge performance.

From there, we move through representative circuits in the home or facility, checking outlets, switches, and visible wiring where accessible. In kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, we confirm that the right type of protection is used in the right places. For many homes in the Wellington area, this includes checking that ground fault and arc fault protection are installed where they are recommended or required.

During a typical electrical inspection, we often review items such as:

• Main service panel condition and breaker sizing
• Evidence of overheating, corrosion, or loose connections
• Grounding and bonding of the electrical system
• Condition of outlets, switches, and visible wiring
• Presence and operation of GFCI and AFCI protection
• Proper installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans
• Signs of water intrusion or storm-related damage

When we are finished, we discuss which findings relate directly to safety, which relate to reliability, and which might affect resale or insurance conversations. You receive a clear explanation of what we saw, why it matters, and what your options are for addressing any concerns. Our goal is for you to feel informed and confident about the next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an electrical inspection take?

Most home inspections take roughly one to three hours, depending on the size, accessibility, and condition of the system. Small commercial spaces may take longer if there are multiple panels or specialized equipment. We discuss timing with you in advance so the visit fits your schedule.

What will you look at during my inspection?

We typically review your main service panel, breakers, grounding, representative outlets and switches, and safety devices such as GFCI and AFCI protection. We also look for visible signs of damage, overheating, or improper work. Our technician explains what was checked and what each finding means for your property.

How much will my electrical inspection cost?

Cost depends on factors like property size and system complexity. Before we begin, we explain the inspection pricing and any additional services you request. If we recommend repairs, we provide StraightForward Pricing® for each option so you see the cost clearly before choosing how to proceed.

What happens if you find serious problems?

If we identify an urgent safety issue, we explain the concern, outline your options, and help you prioritize what should be addressed first. We can often perform repairs promptly and offer financing for larger projects. For issues that cannot safely wait, we have 24/7 emergency service available.

Do I need to do anything before you arrive?

It helps if we can easily reach your main panel, subpanels, and areas where you have noticed problems. Clearing access to these spaces and securing pets is usually enough. When you schedule, our team can suggest any additional steps based on your property and concerns.
